a spinal tap, or lumbar puncture
Lumbar Puncture.
Lumbar spinal tap
damage to ependymal cells would most likely affect the production and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain and spinal cord. This could lead to conditions such as hydrocephalus due to impaired fluid balance.
Damage to the choroid plexus can interfere with the production and regulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is essential for cushioning the brain and spinal cord, removing waste, and delivering nutrients. This can result in conditions such as hydrocephalus or altered CSF composition, affecting brain function.
I think your confused. The fact is that there is an elevated level of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid. This is common to people how have multiple sclerosis. I think the real question is :WHY is there an elevated level of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid hope this helps:)
The procedure is known as tympanometry.
felbamate (it can cause aplastic anemia and hepatic damage)
Septoplasty
The tube implanted in the brain to relieve pressure from cerebrospinal fluid due to hydrocephalus is called a shunt, specifically a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. This device helps to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles of the brain to another area of the body, typically the abdominal cavity, where it can be absorbed. The shunt helps prevent brain damage and alleviates symptoms associated with increased intracranial pressure.
EMG
Cerebrospinal fluid acts as a cushion, providing a protective buffer between the brain and the skull, helping to absorb shock and prevent damage from impacts or sudden movements. It also helps to maintain a stable environment around the brain by regulating the exchange of nutrients and waste products. Additionally, cerebrospinal fluid helps to remove metabolic waste and toxins from the brain, helping to maintain its overall health and function.
