Physical Phantom of Craniospinal Hydrodynamics
Introduction: Inside the craniospinal system, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) interactions occurring through volume exchanges are still not well understood. We built a physical model of this global hydrodynamic system. The main objective was to study

Preface
The 5th International Hydrocephalus Workshop was held May 20-23, 2010, in the Aegean island of Crete, Greece. The workshop was preceded by the 24th Annual Hellenic Congress of Neurosurgery and the 4th Annual Neurosurgery Nurses Meeting as well. This volume includes papers presented at the 5th Hydrocephalus Workshop which recent updates and new concepts in hydrocephalus were introduced. Under the leadership of Dr. Anthony Marmarou there have been two previous Hydrocephalus Workshops on beautiful Greek islands, the 3rd International Hydrocephalus Workshop on the Island of Kos in 2001 and the 4th on the Island of Rhodes in 2007. The planning for the 5th International Workshop was well along when unexpectedly Professor Marmarou died. His last wish was that his work and especially the tradition of International Hydrocephalus Workshops “continue.” With that in mind and with the help and support of the Hellenic Neurosurgical Society, the hydrocephalus study group at the Medical College of Virginia, the International Society for Hydrocephalus and Cerebrospinal Fluid Disorders and the very professional congress organization of Artion, we were able to continue with Professor Marmarou’s vision of getting together the leaders in clinical and basic science research in the field of hydrocephalus. We believe that this workshop was a major turni
