CLINICAL ANATOMY OF THE CSF:

4.

A

CLINICAL ANATOMY OF THE CSF:

  1. Therapeutic: Drainage of CSF at regular intervals is important in the treatment of Meningitis (Inflamation of Arachnoid and Pia matter) and also cure for intractable headaches of unknown aetiology
  2. CSF can be used in Diagnostic Analysis of Diseases
  3. CSF can be obtained via LUMBAR, CISTERNAL and VENTRICULAR PUNCTURE

(Lumbar puncture is the easiest and it can be obtained most commonly at 3rd and 4th Lumber Spine)

  1. Obstruction to the flow of CSF can lead to HYDROCEPHALUS (in children) and Raised INRACRANIAL PRESSURE (IN ADULTS)
