“…According to the historical medical literature, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was first described by a Venetian physician, Massa, who depicted the presence of fluid within the ventricles. 1,2) Later, Cotugno 3) described the presence of a similar fluid also at the surface of the spinal cord. The term “CSF” that is used today was first coined by Magendie, 4) and it has since been used by many researchers and clinicians to describe the fluid that is widely distributed throughout the subarachnoid space and ventricular system (CSF space) at the surfaces and within the brain and spinal cord.…”

The “cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation theory” of CSF flowing unidirectionally and circulating through the ventricles and subarachnoid space in a downward or upward fashion has been widely recognized. In this review, observations of CSF motion using different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are described, findings that are shared among these techniques are extracted, and CSF motion, as we currently understand it based on the results from the quantitative analysis of CSF motion, is discussed, along with a discussion of slower water molecule motion in the perivascular, paravascular, and brain parenchyma. Today, a shared consensus regarding CSF motion is being formed, as follows: CSF motion is not a circulatory flow, but a combination of various directions of flow in the ventricles and subarachnoid space, and the acceleration of CSF motion differs depending on the CSF space. It is now necessary to revise the currently held concept that CSF flows unidirectionally. Currently, water molecule motion in the order of centimeters per second can be detected with various MRI techniques. Thus, we need new MRI techniques with high-velocity sensitivity, such as in the order of 10 μm/s, to determine water molecule movement in the vessel wall, paravascular space, and brain parenchyma. In this paper, the authors review the previous and current concepts of CSF motion in the central nervous system using various MRI techniques.

“…It has been described to play an essential role for normal brain functioning [8]. Often cited as "the third circulation [9], CSF is a heterogeneous fluid composed of plasma filtration and cell segregation products [10]. The choroid plexus and surrounding structures [3] produces CSF, which flows into the ventricles and eventually drains into arachnoid granulations and the main venous system of the brain [11,12].…”

Introduction: We report a case of a 49-year-old man who sustained a left brachial plexus injury and traumatic brain injury after a motor vehicle accident and subsequently developed a giant left cervical pseudomeningocele. The patient suffered multiple fractures in the cervical and thoracic ribs, transverse processes and the scapula. Physical examination revealed a giant left supraclavicular mass restricting his ability to turn his head ipsilaterally, with head tilted to the right, consistent with complete plexus avulsion. Neurological examination showed progressive muscular atrophy and a positive Tinel's sign and paresthesias of the left hand.

“…This famous doctor who lived in Naples in the 18th century published a paper, when he was 25, about the anatomical structures of the ear. He stated that not only were brain ventricle but the subarachnoid spaces filled by CSF, which was called "liquor cotunii" 8,9 .…”
