A test measuring proteins in spinal fluid may help support the diagnosis of MS, especially in patients whose disease is harder to diagnose.

Researchers from the MPI of Biochemistry and the Technical University of Munich have discovered new diagnostic markers for multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects 3 million people worldwide.

Using single-cell sequencing, researchers found distinct immune profiles in different CNS tumors, highlighting its potential as a prognostic tool.

TORONTO, ON – Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks may be one of the mechanisms that link traumatic brain injury (TBI) with dementia, according to a recently published hypothesis in Alzheimer's & Dementia: ...

A CSF leak within the spinal column is the most common identifiable cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension. 3 The mechanism underlying headache and neurologic manifestations is presumed to be ...

It is not possible to test for a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak at home. However, knowing the possible symptoms of a CSF leak can help a person know when to seek emergency help to receive a diagnosis ...

In cerebrospinal fluid, titanium, niobium, and zirconium levels were significantly elevated, but only when serum levels of these metals were also increased. This is an important finding as it supports ...

A spinal headache occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks through a puncture in the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord. This leak decreases the physical support that CSF provides for the ...

How Is a CSF Glucose Test Done? The most common way to check the glucose in your cerebrospinal fluid is by performing a lumbar puncture, also called a spinal tap. In some cases, your doctor can also ...
