Positive lumbar extradural space pressure.
Specially selected soft Macintosh balloon indicators were attached to needles during five extradural and five spinal punctures. When the needle point entered the extradural space, the mean balloon pressure decreased suddenly from 24.9 (range 14-37) to 12.3 (10-16) mm Hg in the five extradural punctures and from 22.3 (17-28) to 13.7 (10-17) mm Hg in the five spinal punctures. In the five spinal ...
متن کاملBacterial Infection in Infants and Children with Fever Selected for Lumbar Puncture
ABSTRACT Lumbar puncture (LP) is performed frequently in Pediatric departments to diagnose meningitis in infants and young children with fever. Children selected to have LP who do not have meningitis may, however, have other bacterial infections. During a 2-year desciptive study, we investigated lumbar punctures performed in pediatric departments of Bou-Ali, Emam-Hossein and Loghmane-Hakim ho...
متن کاملRisk of rebleeding after treatment of acute hydrocephalus in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebrospinal fluid drainage is often indicated in patients with acute hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage but is believed to increase the risk of rebleeding. We studied the risk of rebleeding in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage during treatment for acute hydrocephalus. METHODS We included patients with hydrocephalus treated with external ventric...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Pulsation Hydrodynamics in a 2D Simulation of Brain Ventricles
In this article, dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied, using computational fluid dynamics. Using MRI images of two special cases, a 2-dimensional model of the ventricular system was made. CSF velocity and pressure distribution in ventricular system have high importance since the flow pattern of this liquid has an important effect on intracranial pressure, i.e., ICP, which has a...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay of beta-endorphin in ventricular and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid.
We describe a sensitive beta-endorphin (beta-EP) radioimmunoassay specific for beta-EP 1-31 applied to human ventricular and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Specificity was documented by reversed-phase HPLC of CSF pools. Simultaneous ventricular and lumbar CSF samples from 13 patients suspected of having normal-pressure hydrocephalus showed median beta-EP values of 2.2 (range 1.7-4.0) and 4.8...
