lumbar puncture is one of the most common methods for assessment of central nervous system. allen is illustrating the role of nurses in relation to probable fears about this technique. question: what is lumbar puncture? answer: this technique is proper method that one needle and trocar enter to subarachnoid space in lumbar spine. this method is most common diagnostic test for central nervous sy...

objective ultrasonography is among the most general evaluating methods for central nervous system (cns) assessment, especially for detecting extra axial collection via anterior fontanel. there are few studies showing values of this technique in normal developing infants for detection of subarachnoid space width. association between age and sex and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) spaces are controvers...

PURPOSE To report a case of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) migration into the subarachnoid space at the time of vitreoretinal surgery in a patient with morning glory syndrome associated retinal detachment. CASE REPORT A 9-year-old girl underwent pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection for retinal detachment associated with morning glory syndrome. PFCL was used for retinal stabilizatio...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our aim was to explore the changes of CSF and spinal pathomorphology after high-concentration ozone injection into a pig's subarachnoid space. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight experimental pigs were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=2 in each group). In groups A, B, C, and D, animals were sacrificed for pathology 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the injection, resp...

Two resin injection studies of the lumbar extradural space were performed to elucidate its size and shape. To counteract the lack of cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the cadaver, the subarachnoid space was filled with water. In group 1, the extradural injection of resin caused an immediate increase in subarachnoid pressure. The casts produced varied in thickness, but were situated predominantly ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa spinal hematoma is a rare and usually severe neurological disorder that, without adequate treatment, often leads to death or permanent neurological deficit. epidural as well as subdural and subarachnoid hematomas have been investigated in some studies. a 66-year-old man referred to our hospital because of acute onset paraplegia and incontinency star...

In an attempt to determine whether, following intravenous injection of hypertonic solutions of sodium chloride, an increased amount of this salt could be detected in the cerebra-spinal fluid, it was noted that within a short time after the intravenous injection, cerebra-spinal fluid could not be obtained when the subarachnoid space was entered. This observation led at once to the attachment of ...
