Abstract
1) By means of "cine-MRI" a semi-quantitative analysis of CSF pulsations in the aqueduct of Sylvius can be carried out. 2) This investigation enables a qualitative evaluation of the cranio-spinal CSF flow phenomena. On the one hand this information is a valuable aid for neurosurgeons for diagnosis and on the other, cine-MRI progress controls allow an evaluation of the success of an operation in the sense of a quality control.
