  2. Angiostrongylus cantonensis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiostrongylus_cantonensis

    First described by Chinese parasitologist Hsin-Tao Chen (1904–1977) in 1935, after examining Cantonese rat specimens, [1] the nematode Angiostrongylus cantonensis was identified in the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with eosinophilic meningitis by Nomura and Lim in Taiwan in 1944. They noted that raw food eaten by the patient may have been ...

  3. Lumbar puncture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_puncture

    The needle is then in the subarachnoid space. The stylet from the spinal needle is then withdrawn and drops of cerebrospinal fluid are collected. The opening pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid may be taken during this collection by using a simple column manometer. The procedure is ended by withdrawing the needle while placing pressure on the ...

  4. Cerebrospinal fluid leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid_leak

    The opening fluid pressure in the spinal canal is obtained by performing a lumbar puncture, also known as a spinal tap. Once the pressure is measured, a radiocontrast agent is injected into the spinal fluid. The contrast then diffuses out through the dura sac before leaking through dural holes.

  5. Xanthochromia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthochromia

    Cerebrospinal fluid, which fills the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater surrounding the brain, is normally clear and colorless.When there has been bleeding into the subarachnoid space, the initial appearance of the cerebrospinal fluid can range from barely tinged with blood to frankly bloody, depending on the extent of bleeding.

    Cat's blood is a little harder to come by and not as available as dog's blood," the cats vet, Dr. Sean Perry, told the Miami Herald. That's where a dog comes into the picture and in this case, a ...

  7. Cerebrospinal fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless transcellular body fluid found within the meningeal tissue that surrounds the vertebrate brain and spinal cord, and in the ventricles of the brain. CSF is mostly produced by specialized ependymal cells in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain, and absorbed in the arachnoid granulations .

  8. Glymphatic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glymphatic_system

    Studies in 1985 indicated that cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial fluid may flow along specific anatomical pathways within the brain, with CSF moving into the brain along the outside of blood vessels; such 'paravascular channels' were possibly analogous to peripheral lymph vessels, facilitating the clearance of interstitial wastes from the brain.

  9. Toxoplasmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis

    The toxoplasmic trophozoites causing acute toxoplasmosis are referred to as tachyzoites, and are typically found in various tissues and body fluids, but rarely in blood or cerebrospinal fluid. [17] Swollen lymph nodes are commonly found in the neck or under the chin, followed by the armpits and the groin.
