A woman in her 60s was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis because of progressive weakness and wasting of the shoulder and upper extremity musculature. However, the cause was a spontaneous leak of cerebrospinal fluid in the spine. Both upper extremities were paralyzed by the time the ...
A study led by the University of Birmingham has found that analysis of fluid in the spine could be used to predict the future progression of multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition in which the immune system attacks the nervous system and is the leading cause of non-trauma...

Cysts and cyst-like formations involving the pediatric spine are not uncommon. Most cases are represented by spinal cord syringes, collectively termed "hydrosyringomyelia"; these may occur in isolation or, more commonly, in association with the Chiari I malformation. Dysraphic cysts include the ...
The spinal fluid was studied in twenty cases of infectious mononucleosis proved by clinical picture, blood studies and serological examination. It may be concluded that in acute cases of infectious mononucleosis, the heterophile antibody does not pass into the spinal fluid, but that there may be ...
Cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, is a clear, colorless liquid that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of your central nervous system. It cushions the brain and spinal cord, provides nutrients and removes waste products.
This fluid is also found in tunnel-like spaces inside of the brain. The medical term for the spaces around the brain and spine that are filled with CSF is the subarachnoid space (SAS). The medical term for the inner brain tunnel-like spaces filled with CSF are ventricles. But what is ...
Some of this difference could be because the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) layer of the human spine is relatively large, while that of the rodents is extremely thin. We sought to characterize the fluid impulse induced in the CSF by experimental SCIs of moderate and high human-like severity, and ...
