The existence of cerebral resistance and capacitance vessels and the different pharmacological reactivity of these vessels has already been discussed (3). In this work other aspects of the segmental reactivity of cerebral vessels were considered. The registration of the intracranial venous pressure (IVP) was performed in order to clarify if this is a reliable method for the study of the reactions of cerebral resistance vessels; in addition, the possible effects of brain injury on the segmental reactivity of cerebral vessels were investigated.
