Project description

The objective is to gain more insight into the impact of a disruption of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in patients with Chiari type 1 malformation. Therefore, we develop computational models, which can realistically simulate cerebrospinal fluid and in turn can be applied to study cerebrospinal fluid pressure and flow under normal conditions and in Chiari type 1 malformation.
