The Importance of Compliance in the Brain

If these mechanisms are maintained, then we could imagine as drawing here that if a mass would increase within the brain, in this case, it's a epidural humid toma. Large increases of volume would only represent small increases in ICP. So you would have initially high compliance due to the monochgelled adoption, then the compliance would start to decrease. Then they would become minimal until a point where the vessels would collapse because of an imploding high intracranial pressure inside the cranium. This is just an example of how this compliance can change.
