摘要

A medical paradox was encountered by neurologists while treating soldiers who had survived explosions in warfronts. There were evidences of memory deficits, speech problems and difficulties with decision-making in these patients. The significant observation was that most of these patients had not suffered a direct head injury. Nevertheless scan reports suggested enlargement of brain ventricles with minor bleeding. Such conditions were termed as Blast Induced Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Certain studies show the development of stresses in various parts of the brain due to explosions; none of them directly correlating the expansion of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways and brain ventricles, which is believed to be the indication of TBI. This work primarily explores the role of intracranial CSF pressure dynamics in the genesis of TBI; emphasis being on the evolution of the unsteady pressure field within CSF pathways, ventricular and the subarchnoid region with the brain parenchyma. The continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are solved for the CSF flow under the influence of blast. It has been observed that an unsteady pressure response is developed in the CSF pathways. The pressure gradient between the ventricles and the porous parenchyma is considerably high which is indicative of the ventricular expansion. This intense activity of varying pressure gradient occurs within few milliseconds of the blast application. Our work qualitatively evaluates the CSF pressure instabilities at various instants of time that may be related to the cause of expansion of CSF pathways and ventricular spaces.
