Aqueductal CSF stroke volume is associated with the burden of perivascular space enlargement in chronic adult hydrocephalus

The glymphatic system is a brain-wide fluid transport pathway that includes perivascular spaces (PVS) inflow of subarachnoid CSF followed by interstitial solute clearance 1. Failure of PVS flow leads ...
