Purpose

The main reason for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation in the brain is fluid production by the choroid plexuses and ventricle compression by the arterial pulse. However, plexuses do not exist in the spinal cord, whereas liquid turbulence flow in the cervical and thoracic spine exists as in the brain circulatory narrow areas. We study these "contradictions."

Brain and spine MRI. CSF turbulence.

Globular signal loss in dorsal subarachnoid space resulting from turbulence and time-of-flight effects associated with complex CSF flow.

Flow tends to be turbulent when there is a low-viscosity fluid moving at a high velocity.
