Abstract
Intracranial pressure is a complex variable that involves intracranial elements such as the cerebral parenchyma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and circulating blood. The pressure value remains constant due to regulatory mechanisms that promote compensatory displacement of blood and CSF. When damage to these mechanisms occurs, the value of the ICP can increase and, consequently, generate serious injuries. The effect of the increase of the ICP in the cranial deformation rates is the objective of this work. The present work presents analyzes for the determination of cranial deformation levels through numerical simulation by finite elements in a skull model. The cranial structure will be manufactured in 3D printer for future experimental analysis.
