Research Abstract
Dr. Foltz continues the study of cerebral spinal fluid dynamics by application of laboratory and clinical studies on the CSF pulse wave to the clinical conditions of: 1) hydrocephalus and 2) increasing intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic encephalopathy and brain tumors. He is interested in methods to measure CSF absorption deficit (ventricles) in patients with aqueduct stenosis and to develop a reliable method to record CSF absorption capacity in patients. Cardiac-gated MRI studies have been initiated to develop a non-invasive ICP measurement. This will be based on the degree of CSF pulsatile movement. A third study involves ICP pulsations as a measure of intracranial compliance.
