X.-L. Tan, MD, PhD Q.-D. Yang, MD, MSc X.-J. Liu, MD B. Xiao, MD, PhD B.-S. Tang, MD A 39-year-old woman developed orthostatic headache. Cranial MRI indicated spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) (figure, A). Spinal MRI suggested CSF leaks at C1–2, C2–3, and C5–6 levels (figure, B and C), but both radionuclide cisternography and CT myelography (immediate and 3-hour delayed scanning) showe...

The leucocyte adhesion molecule L-selectin (CD62L) is rapidly cleaved off proteolytically after cell activation, generating soluble L-selectin (sCD62L) molecules. sCD62L concentrations were determined in 185 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples obtained from children aged 1 month to 17 years. In 36 CSF samples of children with meningoencephalitis, sCD62L was significantly higher (median 209 fmol/m...

Five cases of nontraumatic intradiploic arachnoid cysts in elderly patients are reported. All cysts were located in the occipital bone and appeared as well-demarcated radiolucent lesions. The cysts were multiple in three cases. Presenting symptoms included headache or dizziness, but most lesions were asymptomatic and found incidentally. In the most recent three cases, magnetic resonance (MR) im...

Objective: This paper aims to compare the effect of skin staple suture and traditional silk in scalp surgery. Methods: A total 80 craniocerebral surgery patients were included this study, randomly divided into observation group control group, with 40 cases each group. The used disposable stapler incision, conventional incision. Statistical analysis was carried out on 6 indicators including sutu...

Meningitis is a rare and potentially serious complication in children with temporal bone fractures. We present an unusual case of 7-year-old girl pneumococcal meningitis complicated by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage following transverse fracture the left bone. She had otorrhea resolved spontaneously early stage hospitalization. At 4 days post-discharge, patient returned headache, fever, neck...

Abstract Introduction Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak happens when there is an abnormal connection between the brain cavity inside and environment outside. It important to establish a good barrier tissue nose prevent cerebrospinal protect from exposure infection. which can be done either by endoscopic or non-endoscopic surgical repair. Patients methods The aim of this work evaluate effectiveness...

BACKGROUND Although most of cases of dengue infections are asymptomatic or mild symptomatic some individuals present warning signs progressing to severe dengue in which plasma leakage is a hallmark. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The present study used Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS®) which allows for electrical monitoring of cellular barrier function measuring changes in Tra...

OBJECTIVE To apply a theoretical model to analyse the derangement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in syringomyelia associated with adhesive arachnoiditis. METHODS An electrical circuit model of CSF dynamics in the spine was used. With this model, the derangement of CSF dynamics in adhesive arachnoiditis was simulated. The effects of various surgical procedures were then analysed, such a...
