Cerebrospinal fluid biochemical markers in central nervous system tumors: a review.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite numerous studies over the past three decades, the role of these markers in the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) tumors is not yet established. In this report, the literature is reviewed and an attempt is made to define the usefulness of CSF biochemical markers for detecting primary and metastatic CNS neoplasms, with emphasis on the potential of these markers for the early identification of CNS tumors, particularly metastases to

Biochemical markers of central nervous system tumors in cerebrospinal fluid.
Central nervous system (CNS) tumor markers that have been m easured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) include among others, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), aldolase, phosphohexose isomerase (PHI), lysozyme, creatinine kinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, adenylate kinase, the polyamines and desmosterol. Such markers have at least five possible functions in the diagn...
متن کاملSARS‐CoV2 Neuroinvasion Potential; Narrative Review
The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS ‐ CoV-2) in December 2019 has led to the epidemic of Covid-19. Recent clinical studies have shown that parts of the nervous system; Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is associated with a variety of neurological manifestations such as headache, dizziness, and olfactory and gustatory disorders. This study ...
متن کاملCytology of cerebrospinal fluid: technical and diagnosis considerations.
The usefulness of cerebrospinal fluid cytology in the diagnosis of malignancy has been enhanced in recent years by the development of new techniques for increasing cellular yield. Micropore filters and a specially adapted cytocentrifuge have been used for this purpose with a resulting increase in cell concentration and in diagnostic accuracy. Cerbrospinal fluid examination has been found to be ...
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 کاملتومورنورواکتودرمال اولیه اینترااسپاینال(گزارش 1 مورد نادر)
Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors(PNETs) are common tumors in children and are mainly intracranial in location. They frequently disseminate throughout the central nervous system via CSF(cerebrospinal fluid) and may rarely have metastasis outside the neuraxis. Rare cases of primary intraspinal PNETs have been reported so far and most of which are located intradurally in cauda equina. ...
