Posture-induced Changes in Intracranial Pressure: A Comparative Study in Patients with and without a Cerebrospinal Fluid Block at the Craniovertebral Junction

Abstract

ICP reduction after a change in body position is significantly greater in patients with free CSF flow through the craniospinal junction than in those with Chiari malformation, indicating the difficulty or impossibility of CSF displacement into the spinal canal in the latter.
