Abstract
Cisternal cerebrospinal fluid pressures of 37 calves, whose age ranged from 2 through 191 days, was measured in lateral recumbency under general anesthesia. The pressure at 2 days of age was estimated to be 90 mm of saline. To the 101st day of age, it increased for each 7-day advance in age by 6.7%. Thereafter it was maintained at an average geometric mean level estimated to be 224 mm.
