  1. Modeling Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension with a semi-collapsible sinus Scott Stevens Penn State Erie

  2. Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) • High pressure (hypertension) • In the head (intracranial) • Unknown cause (idiopathic) • Symptoms: headache, nausea, papilledema (swollen optic nerve), visual obscurations possibly leading to blindness • Often concurrent with intracranial venous-sinus stenosis

  3. Sinus Stenosis: Blockage or compression? J N P Higgins, C Cousins, B K Owler, N Sarkies and J D Pickard Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: 12 cases treated by venous sinus stenting Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry 2003;74:1662-1666 Normal Stenosed Sinus

  4. Prevalence • IIH prevalence < 1% • IIH without papilledema (IIHWOP) ? • 6.7% of 724 migraine patients – sinus stenosis. • 67.8% of these - IIHWOP. • Possibly 1.3 million in United States • Nine of ten CDH patients – IIHWOP with Pathological ICP waveforms Bono 2006, Torbey 2004.

  5. Clinically Observed Pathological ICP Waveforms in IIHWOP A-waves (plateaus) B-waves (spikes) Risberg, Lundberg 1969 Torbey 2004

  6. Model Assumptions

  7. Model Assumptions

  8. Governing Equations: CSF/Brain Compartment

  9. Governing Equations: Cerebral Veins and Saggital Sinus

  10. Downstream Starling Resistor Data: Heil (1997) Model

  11. Keep your eye on “m”: the initial collapsibility parameter.

  12. Governing Differential Equations

  13. Steady-State Equations

  14. Options - Bifurcations

  15. IIH begins Still healthy Limit Cycles Bifurcation Diagram for PF in terms of the collapsibility parameter m As the collapsibility parameter (m) increases, the situation gets worse.

  16. Limit Cycles: Self-excited oscillations – Pathological ICP waveforms

  17. Cerebral Blood Flow Perturbations. Spikes and plateaus together.

  18. Post saddle-node bifurcation: Similar to our previous results. Two stable states: Normal and ElevatedTemporary perturbations cause fast, permanent transitions. Cerebral blood flow perturbation - Sleep apnea.

  19. Potential Diagnostic/Validation Method: Bolus CSF withdrawal. Collapsible sinus simulation Rigid sinus simulation

  20. Current Endeavors Periodic ForcingGrazing BifurcationsStochastic influences CBF autoregulation Single DE system Sigmoidal Resistor
