Cerebrospinal fluid absorption block at the vertex in chronic hydrocephalus: obstructed arachnoid granulations or elevated venous pressure?

BACKGROUND: The lack of absorption of CSF at the vertex in chronic hydrocephalus has been ascribed to an elevation in the arachnoid granulation outflow resistance (R(out)). The CSF infusion studies measuring R(out) are dependent on venous sinus pressure but little is known about the changes in press...
