A mathematical model of the regulation of ventricular volume, which emphasizes the importance of the intrinsic properties (turgor) of the brain for the understanding of hydrocephalus, has been developed. How the model was generated is described. The use of the model for understanding the various forms of hydrocephalus is discussed. Finally, the usefulness of the model in solving difficult clinical problems, such as diffuse pediatric head injury and progressive ventriculomegaly with low intracranial pressure, is described.
已经建立了一个心室容积调节的数学模型，该模型强调大脑的内在特性（膨胀性）对于理解脑积水的重要性。文中描述了该模型是如何生成的。讨论了使用该模型来理解各种形式的脑积水。最后，描述了该模型在解决困难临床问题方面的实用性，如小儿弥漫性头部损伤和颅内压降低的进行性脑室扩大。
