Cerebrospinal fluid fistula: detection with MR cisternography.
PURPOSE Our goal was to assess the role of MR cisternography in the examination of patients with suspected CSF rhinorrhea. METHODS MR cisternography was performed as a heavily T2-weighted fast spin-echo study with fat suppression and video reversal of the images in 37 patients over a 3-year interval. Twenty-four of the patients subsequently had exploratory surgery for fistula. Statistical ana...
متن کاملDetection of cerebrospinal fluid leakage with tinted chlorhexidine.
Simple, fast detection of cerebrospinal fluid leakage due to head injuries is important for diagnosis and early start-up of correct treatment. We are not aware of any good, rapid diagnostic tests for detecting cerebrospinal fluid. Measuring sugar concentration and protein content normally yields uncertain results. At the University Hospital of North Norway in Tromsø, tinted chlorhexidine has be...
متن کاملDetection of Herpes Simplex Virus Infection in Cerebrospinal Fluid
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Herpes simplex encephalitis is a life-threatening consequence of the central nervous system (CNS) infection with Herpes simplex virus (HSV). Although it is a rare disease, mortality rates reach 70% in the absence of therapy and only a minority of individuals can return to normal function. The aim of this study was to d...
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 کاملEnterobius vermicularis in Cerebrospinal Fluid
Enterobius vermicularis is a nematod of large intestine in man. Extra intestinal localization of this parasite is rare. A 60 year old man was admitted to the hospital with the clinical manifestation of meningitis. In laboratory examination of cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F), the appearance was red, Albu-min level was high and the glucose showed normal value. Haematoxylin and Eosin stained slides pr...
