Hydrodynamics of Cerebrospinal Fluid in Spinal Canal with Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is has great potential as a tool for diagnosis of neurological diseases such as Chiari malformation (CM) and syringomyelia (SM). Its extended capability to obtain in-vivo velocities of blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) allowed engineers to perform studies with engineering analysis applications such as computational fluid dynamics and physical modeling. Recently...
متن کاملSpinal Puncture and Cerebrospinal Fluid Examination
C fluid (CSF) examination is performed in the emergency department (ED) to obtain information relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of specific disease entities. Many urgent and life-threatening conditions require immediate and accurate knowledge of the nature of the CSF. However, on rare occasions, certain harmful consequences may result from a spinal puncture. Perform a careful neurologic e...
متن کاملSpontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak from the optic canal
Objective To present a case of successful repair of a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak in a previously unreported anatomic site. Methods Retrospective chart review. Results A 48-year-old woman developed a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak from the optic nerve sheath and underwent a multilayer endoscopic closure with no damage to the optic nerve. Conclusion Endoscopic surgeons can s...
متن کاملDETECTION OF CRYPTOCOCCUS NEOFORMANS BY SEMINESTED PCR IN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID
ABSTRACT Life-threatening infections caused by the encapsulated fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans have been increasing steadily over the past 10 years. Cryptococcus neoformans is recognized as the most frequent fungal infection of the central nervous system (CNS) in immunocompetent as well as immunocompromised patients. We report the development of a semi-nested- PCR-based assay for the ...
متن کاملCurrent imaging of cerebrospinal fluid leaks.
A CSF leak results from a defect in the dura and skull base. Due to the risk of potentially devastating central nervous system infection, it is an important entity. Timely diagnosis of CSF leaks is crucial. Laboratory testing of nasal or aural fluid drainage for the presence of the protein Beta (beta)-2 transferrin plays a key role in establishing the presence of a CSF leak. Such assays are not...
