Reassessing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamics: a literature review presenting a novel hypothesis for CSF physiology.
The traditional model of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamics is being increasingly challenged in view of recent scientific evidences. The established model presumes that CSF is primarily produced in the choroid plexuses (CP), then flows from the ventricles to the subarachnoid spaces, and is mainly reabsorbed into arachnoid villi (AV). This model is seemingly based on faulty research and mis...
متن کاملSurgical repair of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks: A systematic review

متن کاملMicro devices for a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system
This paper reports a novel cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt system for the hydrocephalus patients. The CSF shunt system consists of a micro telemetry pressure sensor, an electromagnetic micropump and a controller. The pressure sensor has a flexible p+ diaphragm and a planar copper coil that construct an LC resonant circuit. The cerebrospinal pressure is measured from the phase shift at the reson...
متن کاملMalignant cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): the meaning of a positive CSF cytology.
We reviewed the correlation between malignant cells in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (positive cytology) and pathologic findings at autopsy. The purpose was to discover: (1) the incidence of negative CSF cytology in patients with CNS malignancy, (2) the incidence of false-positive cytology, and (3) the relationship between a true-positive cytology and the distribution of malignant tumor at autopsy....
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...
