Cerebral compliance

Back

	Cerebral compliance (C) is the ability of the brain to adapt to changes in volume (dV) inside the cranium in order to reduce changes in pressure (dP), i.e. C = dV/dP. A brain is described as compliant, (i.e. it has good compliance) if a large change in ventricular volume results in a small change in ICP.
