INTRODUCTION Brain motion during cardiac cycles presents an interesting challenge for physiologists. It has been demonstrated by using phase contrast MRI (1) and DENSE (2). It is linked to the oscillatory motion of the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) but not demonstrated to be a cause or a consequence of it (3). Quantifying brain motion can be used to analyze the stiffness parameters of the brain or...

The invasion of New York by cerebro-spinal fever in the winter and spring of 1904-5, when some 4,000 cases occurred,1 and the more recent appearance of the disease in Glasgow (March, 1906), in Belfast, and some other districts, invite attention to its causation and prophylaxis. It is generally recognised that a cerebro-spinal meningitis may be set up by various causes, such as disease of the mi...

Cervical spine compression with cervical radicular or cervical spinal cord compression is a common neck condition caused by inflammatory diseases, cervical disk degeneration, neck injuries or other less common causes (tumours, infections etc.). The phosphorylated form of the High-Molecular-Weight Neurofilament Subunit NF-H (pNF-H) in Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) is a specific biomarker for spinal...

Abstract Background Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has well-described imaging findings, typically reversible with the adequate treatment. We hereby report a case of IIH peculiar finding, that to our knowledge and by research conducted, never been described before—cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) transudation across optic nerve sheath. Case presentation A 15-year-old girl 2-week history oc...

Aim: To determine T1-weighted (T1W) signal intensity (SI) differences in the dentate nucleus (DN) and globus pallidus (GP) following contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with multiple gadopentetate dimeglumine administrations a group of pediatric patients. Methods materials: This retrospective study included children at least two brain MRIs. All patients received intravenously (0....

1. In the secondary and tertiary stages of syphilis without direct involvement of the nervous system the cerebro-spinal fluid yielded the butyric acid reaction of feeble intensity. The fluid under these conditions gave neither a positive cytodiagnosis nor the Wassermann test for syphilis. 2. The cerebro-spinal fluid of cases of hereditary syphilis showed a positive butyric reaction in about 90 ...

Cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) exhibits pulsatile flow due to systolic and diastolic blood flow in cerebral arteries and veins. We describe an investigation of the relationship between CSF flow and arterial & venous blood flow using principle component analysis (PCA). The study used Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Images (PC-MRI) of 16 volunteers with no known CSF abnormalities. The immediate out...

This paper is a record of observations on the transmission and clinical signs of dourine in naturally infected cases of known duration, and of temporal and quantitative aspects of the immune response in blood and cerebro-spinal fluid. Included in the record are observations on the presence of Trypanosoma equiperdum parasites in these body fluids and methods for their detection. There is evidenc...
