Neoplastic Meningitis: How MRI and CSF Cytology Are Influenced by CSF Cell Count and Tumor Type
BACKGROUND Although CSF cytology and MRI are standard methods to diagnose neoplastic meningitis (NM), this complication of neoplastic disease remains difficult to detect. We therefore reevaluated the sensitivity of gadolinium (GD)-enhanced MRI and cerebrospinal-fluid (CSF)-cytology and the relevance of tumor type and CSF cell count. METHODS We retrospectively identified 111 cases of NM diagno...
متن کاملG-CSF and GM-CSF on tumor peogression
JBUON 2017; 22(1): 21 GM-CSF and G-CSF are capable to regulate the maturation of undifferentiated multipotent stem cells into mature granulocytes, macrophages and T cells in the bone marrow. Thereby, clinicians correct neutropenia induced by chemotherapy or radiation routinely with recombinant Gor GM-CSFs in clinical practice. However, relevant studies found that treatment for cancer patients w...
متن کاملCSF Rhinorrhea and recurrent meningitis caused by transethmoidal meningoencephaloceles.
We report two children presenting with intermittent CSF rhinorrhea and recurrent meningitis. CT scan showed transethmoidal meningoencephalocele.
متن کاملDifferentiation between CSF Otorrhea and Rhinorrhea in an Obscure Case of Recurrent Meningitis
Introduction: Leakage of cerebrospinal fluid in the skull base may be accompanied with recurrent meningitis. The site of leakage may either be anterior (in the nose and paranasal sinuses) or posterior (in the temporal bone). Various imaging techniques can be used to precisely locate the point of leakage but despite all the advances in imaging techniques there are still some rare cases in which ...
متن کاملCSF cytology versus immunocytochemistry in meningeal carcinomatosis.
CSF immunocytochemistry with monoclonal antibodies was compared with conventional cytology to determine its sensitivity in detecting malignant cells in patients with meningeal carcinomatosis. One hundred and eighteen samples were investigated. Cytology was tumour positive in 83 samples and immunocytochemistry in 85. Dissimilar results between the two diagnostic methods were noted in 12 specimen...
