Abstract Hypoxia may occur during the course of diseases of the heart, lungs, and central nervous system. While the influence of hypoxia inYoh·es many physiological and biochemical changes, one of the least explored is the importance of formation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the pathogenesis of post hypoxic intracranial h\·pertension. Increased intracranial pressure is a feature of hypoxic brain injury (Aldrich, 1992). and changes in CSF d\·namics and consequent effects on mtracramal fluid volume. mav be factors in the development of intracramal hvpertension during or following h\·poxia. |
