CSF leaks are frequently misdiagnosed as migraines or sinus infections. Experts at Cedars-Sinai note that because symptoms often overlap with more common conditions, CSF leaks are frequently ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks represent a significant clinical challenge, marked by the aberrant escape of CSF from its usual confines into adjacent structures such as the paranasal sinuses, which ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health detected abnormal proteins in the spinal fluid of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which could help ...

Researchers showed that an RNA-based therapy targeting the SETBP1 mutation reduced the incidence of hydrocephalus in mice, ...

Fujirebio is launching a human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) assay in its continuing efforts to detect Alzheimer’s ...

Exploring the genetic blueprint of cerebrospinal fluid proteins, this study uncovers new markers and therapeutic targets that may unlock advancements in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and care. Study: ...

Cerebrospinal fluid is a watery liquid that continually circulates through the brain’s ventricles and around the surface of the brain and spinal cord. It acts like a cushion that helps protect the ...

High levels of a certain enzyme in the fluid around a person’s brain and spinal cord could be a sign that they have Parkinson’s disease – potentially enabling the condition to be diagnosed earlier.

Carefully timed bursts of carbon dioxide are emerging as a surprising tool to help the brain wash away toxic proteins linked to Parkinson’s disease. Instead of a new pill or implant, researchers are ...
