Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is a disruption of the hypopituitarism barrier that causes cerebrospinal to flow through arachnoid, dura mater and skull base into nasal cavity or sinuses out nostrils nasopharynx exit. In patients with leakage fluid, We report case boy who had intermittent regular fever after surgery, which was treated oral medication but not effective, accompanied by headache di...

We report a case of diffuse enhancement of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after intravenous administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine in an 8-year-old girl with a primitive neuroectodermal tumor. The enhancement of the CSF was caused by leakage of gadolinium chelate complexes into the CSF, which was proved by CSF analysis.

Cancers, especially of the neural tissue, are often deemed a death sentence. However, neither cellular and molecular mechanisms nor underlying causes fully defined. Despite what is currently known about various types brain tumors, it remains poorly understood how they spread cause collateral damage to other parts brain. This research focuses cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage enzymes from cancer...

BACKGROUND There is sporadic data about the occurrence of spinal meningeal cysts in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). We suggest that there is a relationship with the frequency and size of spinal meningeal cysts and headache, intracranial aneurysms, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage in patients with ADPKD. AIM To investigate the relationship with spinal meninge...

we describe the development of enterovirus meningoencephalitis associated with increased adenosine deaminase in cerebrospinal fluid of a 12-year-old boy, a known case of hypogamaglobulinemia despite monthly replacement of ivig. the patient was referred to our center with fever, headache and vomiting for 10 days. csf analysis was compatible with aseptic meningoencephalitis but high csf protein (...

background: proposing a strategy for sellar reconstruction in endoscopic transsphenoidal transsellar approach for pituitary adenoma. methods: 240 patients with pituitary adenoma underwent pure endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery. intra-operative csf leaks were classified as grade 0, no observable leak grade 1, csf dripping through an arachnoid membrane defect of less than 1 mm and grad...

results the mean levels of serum calcium, serum zinc, cerebrospinal fluid calcium and cerebrospinal fluid zinc were 14.51 ± 3.69 mg/dl; 184.04 ± 65.49 µg/dl; 5.23 ± 2.21 mg/dl and 87.06 ± 28.25 µg/dl respectively. conclusions we did not find any clear abnormality in plasma or cerebrospinal fluid calcium and zinc levels in children with febrile seizures in our patient population. patients and me...
