Guest guest Posted March 1, 1998 Report Share Posted March 1, 1998 Maureen, Don't you wish that we had a resident Neurosurgeon to explain these things to us!!!! >I have not seen any information pertaining to no csf pulsations. How exactly does this fit in with the papers that discuss systolic and diastolic pulsations? Or have I completely missed something? I did'nt see anything on no pulsations either, anyone else? I am still wondering about the difference between an elongated flow vrs a shortened one and what causes you to have either. Elongated systolic flow is more prone to syrinx formation. >It would seem to me that no csf pulsations would corroborate the tonsils blocking, or like a cork in a bottle and unable to move? In systole they impact the CCJ, they talk about the tonsils moving up and down, but also remember a comment on adhesions stopping the tonsils moving up. I will reread this again and see if more sinks in. >Also, there is jsut a " trickle " (my neuro's words) of csf flowing in one area of cervical canal. Does anyone have any comments on this? We have this little or trickle flow also, what was his comment on the relevance of just a small amount of flow, especially considering that CSF flow is the most important thing. Is a little flow enough???????? Kym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
