Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea complicating pregnancy.

Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is an uncommone occurrence, especially when a history of previous trauma is absent. This report describes a case of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea occurring in a pregnant patient during the pushing portion of her Lamaze exercises, and discusses the management of labor and delivery.

Cerebrospinal fluid penetration of mezlocillin.

The passage of 6-[(R)-2-[3-methylsulfonyl-2-oxo-imidazolidine-1-carboxamido]-2-phenyl-acetamido)-penicillanic acid sodium salt (mezlocillin, Baypen), into the CSF was studied in 9 patients with symptoms of acute meningitis, presumed to be of viral origin. The antibiotic was given as a single 5 g dose i.v. over 30 min. The CSF/serum concentration ratio of mezlocillin showed a variation from 0 to 10.7%. The antibiotic could be effective in the treatment of bacterial meningitis caused by ampicillin-resistant strains of Haemophilus influenzae and by most Enterobacteriaceae, provided these results

Цереброшпинальные иммуноглобулины у детей.

Иммуноглобулины цереброспиновой жидкости (CSF) были измерены у 62 нормальных детей, у 9 детей, страдающих менингитным менингитом, и у 10 детей, страдающих предполагаемым вирусным менингитом. Средние значения для обычных детей составляли IgA 0, IgM 0 и IgG 0,84 +/- 1,4 мг/100 мл (+/-SD). Средние уровни всех иммуноглобулинов КФС были повышены при остром бактериальном менингите и были значительно выше, чем уровни вирусного менингита. В случае вирусного менингита КФС ИгМ составил 0,16 +/- 0,5 мг/100 мл по сравнению с 2,64 +/- 2,06 мг/100 мл в случае бактериального менингита (P менее 0,01). Однако

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) immunoglobulins were measured in 62 normal children, in 9 children with purulent meningitis, and in 10 children with presumptive viral meningitis. The mean values in normal children were IgA 0, IgM 0, and IgG 0.84 +/- 1.4 mg/100 ml (+/- SD). The mean levels of all CSF immunoglobulins were raised in acute bacterial meningitis and wer…

Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in megalencephaly.

Macrocephaly is one of the signs most commonly used in the diagnosis of hydrocephalus. Two children are reported who presented with macrocephaly. The results of neurological examination were normal apart from delay in mental development. Head circumferences were above the 98th percentile. Air studies showed mildly dilated ventricles with no obstruction, and ventriculolumbar perfusions indicated normal rates of cerebrospinal fluid formation and absorption. At seven years of age the children were mildly mentally retarded, with head circumferences above the 98th percentile. In the girl the ventri…

Parkinsonism and cerebrospinal fluid disorders.

BACKGROUND: Although various motor manifestations can be seen in patients with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders, such as hydrocephalus or intracranial hypotension, the clinical presentation with parkinsonism is not clearly elucidated. METHODS: We searched the literature for studies describing the occurrence of parkinsonism in subjects with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), obstructive hydrocephalus, and intracranial hypotension. We analyzed the clinical presentation (particularly with respect to bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor, and gait disturbance/postural instability) as well as t…

Viral Metagenomics on Cerebrospinal Fluid.

Identifying the causative pathogen in central nervous system (CNS) infections is crucial for patient management and prognosis. Many viruses … nd allows multiplexing of multiple samples per run. The performance of VIDISCA-NGS was tested on 45 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients with suspected CNS infections in which a virus was identified and quantified by polymerase chain reaction. Eighteen were positive for an RNA virus, and 34 for a herpesvirus. VIDISCA-NGS detected all RNA viruses with a vir …

Overview of cerebrospinal fluid cytology.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology, i.e., the cytologic evaluation of its cellular composition, forms an integral part of the neurologist's armamentarium. Total and differential cell counts provide important first information across a spectrum of pathologic conditions involving the central nervous system and its coverings. CSF samples require immediate processing, ideally within 1 hour from collection. Upon centrifugation cytology is commonly assessed on May-Grunwald-Giemsa stains. Several additional stains are available for the identification of infectious agents such as bacteria or fungi, or…

Iatrogenic intradiploic cerebrospinal fluid collection.

BACKGROUND: Cases of intradiploic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collections have been previously reported in the literature with various underlying causes. We focus specifically on the iatrogenic cases of this rare but possible neurosurgical complication discussing the possible pathophysiological mechanisms and management strategy. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 14-year-old boy was admitted in our institute with recurrent headache and worsening attention deficits. He was previously treated twice for a Chiari malformation type I. The performed imaging showed the persisting lower position of the cerebellar to…
