Abstract
In the therapy of hydrocephalus the dynamic course of the intracranial pressure (ICP) is rarely considered, although it may contain valuable diagnostic information. Several models for intracranial pressure and fluid dynamics are described. Assuming a simplified model and deriving the intracranial pressure wave relationships, this model could be partially confirmed and a characteristic dataset could be given for every patient.
