“…It has been demonstrated that the cerebral venous pressure (CVP) increases in parallel with the CSFP and it is always kept slightly higher than the CSFP. Parallel modifications in CSFP and CVP can be induced by the inflation of intracranial balloons or by the modification of the PaCO2 (Yada et al, 1973;Luce et al, 1982;Wiig and Reed, 1983). Thus, the increase in the CVP of the vessels draining the tumour could lead to a further increase in the tumour MVP and IFP.…”

Summary Fluid transport parameters in intracranial tumours influence the delivery of therapeutic agents and the resolution of peritumoral oedema. The tumour and cortex interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) and the cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP) were measured during the growth of brain and pial surface tumours [R3230AC mammary adenocarcinoma (R3230AC) and F98 glioma (F98)] in rats. Intratumoral and intracranial pressures were also measured in rodents and patients treated with dexamethasone, mannitol and furosemide (DMF), and hypocapnia. The results show that (1) for the R3230AC on the pial surface, IFP increased with tumour volume and CSFP increased exponentially for tumours occupying a brain volume of 5% or greater; (2) in F98 with volumes of approximately 10 mm3, IFP decreased from the tumour to the cortex, whereas for tumour volumes > 16 mm3 IFP equilibrates between F98 and the cortex; (3) DMF treatment reduced the IFP of intraparenchymal tumours significantly and induced a pressure gradient from the tumour to the cortex; and (4) in 11 patients with intracranial tumours, the mean IFP was 2.0 ± 2.5 mmHg. In conclusion, the IFP gradient between intraparenchymal tumours and the cortex decreases with tumour growth, and treatment with DMF can increase the pressure difference between the tumour and surrounding brain. The results also suggest that antioedema therapy in patients with brain tumours is responsible in part for the low tumour IFP.Keywords: interstitial fluid pressure; microvascular pressure; brain tumours in rodents; intracranial tumours in patients; antioedema therapy Studies from our group and other investigators have shown that the interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) of human tumours in situ is significantly elevated compared with normal tissues Roh et al, 1991;Gutmann et al, 1992;Less et al, 1992;Curti et al, 1993;Arbit et al, 1994;Nathanson and Nelson, 1994). In most normal tissues the IFP is around 0 mmHg while for the different carcinoma types measured to date the mean IFPs vary between 14 and 30 mmHg. In general, in human and experimental tumours the IFP increases with tumour size (Jain, 1987a;Boucher et al, 1990Boucher et al, , 1991Boucher et al, , 1995Gutmann et al, 1992;Lee et al, 1992;Nathanson and Nelson, 1994). However, in other studies, the IFP was found to be independent of the tumour volume (Less et al, 1992;Curti et al, 1993;Boucher et al, 1995;Tufto and Rofstad, 1995;Znati et al, 1996). Measurements in experimental tumours have demonstrated that (1) the IFP is uniform throughout the centre of tumours and drops steeply in the tumour periphery or in the normal tissue surrounding the tumour (Boucher et al, 1990;Boucher and Jain, 1992;DiResta et al, 1993) and (2) that the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures in the vascular and interstitial space are at or close to equilibrium Jain, 1989, Boucher andStohrer et al, 1995). The similarity in hydrostatic pressures between the microvascular and interstitial space is thought to be a major mechanism limiting the convective delivery of large therapeut...

“…On the other hand, when intracranial pressure is increased, collapse of the thin-walled veins is prevented by some intracranial venous pressure regulation mechanism and intraluminal venous pressure increases. 20 Thus, it may be concluded that the thin-walled veins which are most sensitive to changes in intracranial pressure ( fig. 1) could indeed be the site for initiation of a venoarterial reflex.…”

Analogue analyses from an isolated skeletal muscle enclosed in a rigid shell were applied to the brain in an attempt to simulate and verify haemodynamic effects of distal opening of the spinal canal. Results Conclusion:The present study strongly suggest that post-spinal headache and brain stem compression and other LP-related effects are predictable following LP, without involving CSF leakage, and can be explained by hydrostatic effects triggered by distal opening of the normally closed dural space to the atmosphere.
