Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a type of clear liquid that surrounds, protects, and cushions your brain and spinal cord from possible injuries. The fluid is held in place by the dura mater, a dense ...

A CSF leak occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) escapes from the protective layer surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This is a serious condition that can cause headaches, seizures, or meningitis.

Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of α-fetoprotein and β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin are used as biomarkers for the management of central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors ...

Cerebrospinal fluid is the liquid around your brain and spinal cord. If a doctor thinks you have an illness that affects your nervous system, they might take a sample for testing. The fluid is made by ...

A CSF leak can cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and a runny nose. You can drink plenty of fluids to help slow or stop a CSF leak and ease headaches CSF leaks are often repaired with ...

Diagnostic testing of CSF for surrogate disease markers (i.e., 14-3-3 and total tau) assumes that the patient had a history of acute dementia but did not have several conditions that might compromise ...
