Because the [[intracranial]] compartment is in contiguity with the [[spinal canal]], which contains epidural fat and openings via [[neural foramen]] between segmental vertebra, the assumption of a rigid system is not completely accurate, but provides a useful framework for understanding [[ICP]]. The principal intracranial components (blood, CSF, and brain tissue) are in a state of volume equilibrium, and any increase in volume of one of these intracranial components must be compensated for by a decrease in volume of another; otherwise, ICP will increase ((Mokri B. The Monro-Kellie hypothesis: applications in CSF volume depletion. Neurology. 2001 Jun 26;56(12):1746-8.
