Finite Element Model for Hydrocephalus and Idiopathic

Acta Neurochir. Suppl. · Jan 2016

Finite Element Model for Hydrocephalus and Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Hydrocephalus and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) are neuropathies associated with disturbed cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. Several finite element (FE) brain models were suggested to simulate the pathological changes in hydrocephalus, but with overly simplified assumptions regarding the properties of the brain parenchyma. This study proposes a two-dimensional FE brain model, capable of simulating both hydrocephalus and IIH by incorporating poro-hyperelasticity of the brain and detailed structural information (i.e., sulci).
