Object. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of hydrocephalus on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production rates in patients with acute and chronic hydrocephalus. Methods. The authors studied CSF production both in patients presenting with acute and chronic hydrocephalus, and patients with Parkinson disease (PD) of a similar mean age, whose CSF production was known to be normal. A modification of the Masserman method was used to measure CSF production through a ventricular catheter. The CSF production rates (means ± standard deviations) in the three groups were then compared. The patients with PD had a mean CSF production rate of 0.42 ± 0.13 ml/minute; this value lies within the normal range measured using this technique. Patients with acute hydrocephalus had a similar CSF production rate of 0.4 ± 0.13 ml/minute, whereas patients with chronic hydrocephalus had a significantly decreased mean CSF production rate of 0.25 ± 0.08 ml/minute. Conclusions. The authors postulate that chronic increased intracranial pressure causes downregulation of CSF production.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production rates were measured in the dog by ventriculocisternal perfusion with inulin containing buffer. Normal CSF production rate was found to be about 0.05 ml/min which represents a turnover of 0.4%/min. After intravenous administration of the carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, acetazolamide and methazolamide, a 40–50% decrease in CSF production occurred. An increase in plasma pCO2, by allowing the animals to inhale 95% oxygen, 5% CO2, did not result in any significant change in CSF production. Both intravenous and intrathecal administration of varying doses of the cardiac glycoside, ouabain, did not cause any significant change in CSF production rates. It is concluded that CSF production, in part, is controlled by a carbonic anhydrase system.
