Reference range for cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure in children.
We conducted a 2-year, single-center prospective study of CSF opening pressure in children undergoing lumbar puncture as part of their routine clinical care. Our objective was to establish a useful, clinically relevant reference range for opening pressure and a threshold value for abnormally elevated opening pressure (in the 90th percentile or higher, defined a priori). Our reference group cons...

متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Indices in Children with Febrile Convulsion
Background and Objective: Febrile convulsions (FC) are the most common seizure disorders in children. Lumbar puncture should be considered in any case with FC who is suspected to intracranial infections. This study determined white blood cell and polymorphonuclear cell counts, protein and glucose levels in cerebrospinal fluids (CFS) of children that were hospitalized with FC. Methods: In this ...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid pressure.
The cerebrospinal fluid pressure at the foramen of Monro in man in the recumbent position is less than 100 mm water relative to atmospheric pressure. The oscillations in the pressure wave due to respiration and cardiac pulsation vary with the actual pressure and increase as the overall pressure rises. In man lying horizontally the oscillation at the foramen of Monro is usually less than 50 mm w...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Pressure and Glaucoma
Eyes with normal-pressure glaucoma and those with high-pressure glaucoma can show a similar optic nerve head appearance, while eyes with vascular optic neuropathies show a markedly different optic disc appearance. Factors in addition to intraocular pressure (IOP) may thus play a role in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Clinical and experimental studies showed that (1) physiolo...
