Abstract
In the final part of this series we present all of the clinical material, and the patients are classified by different cisternographic syndromes on the dynamic basis offered for our method: A nomogram method for clinical estimation of CSF production based on the mathematical properties of our analysis of the ventricular reflux is proposed. The different normal and pathological characteristics of fluid movements in the spinal canal are given, and their importance as signs of turbulence in the posterior fossa are emphasized. Different aspects of the dynamics of CSF production are shown and discussed, and an evolving conception of hydrocephalus development is presented.
