Dilatation of the subarachnoid pericerebral space and absorption of cerebrospinal fluid in the infant.
The authors investigated intracranial pressure, resistance to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption following ventricular infusion and radiopharmaceutical absorption of radionuclide injected into the ventricles in two infants with dilatation of the subarachnoid pericerebral space. The results of this study showed an increased resistance to CSF absorption. Intraspinal CSF absorption was seen to predominate, as shown by isotopic cisternography.
