2001). Although the main route of transport is unidirectional from the blood to the subarachnoid space, there is also a bidirectional transport at the blood–CSF barrier (Oreskovic and Klarica 2010; Brinker et al. 2014). This way, certain substrates (inorganic ions, metabolites of neurotransmitters, antibiotics) can be removed from the brain and the CSF. According to a recent two-photon imaging study visualizing fluorescent tracers through a cranial window of living mice, a significant proportion 3 Physiology and Constituents of CSF 29 Prostaglandin-D-Synthase Brain derived S100 β CSF/serum concentration ratio × 10−3 10,000 Neuronal ACHE Cystatin C Neuronal enolase H2O 1,000 CI Ca β2-Mikroglobulin Ser PO4 Thr 100 Uremic acid EPO Transthyretin Glutaminsynthetase Ferritin Apolipoprotein E 10 Myoglobin Blood derived Transferrin IgG Alb 1 1 10 Cp IgM IgA α2-M 100 Hydrodynamic radius (Å) Fig.
Patients should be in the lateral recumbent position. However, if the dura can only be punctured in the sitting position, extreme care is advised in moving the patient to a lateral position, ensuring the needle is neither displaced nor broken during movement. During the pressure reading, the patient’s legs should also be straightened slightly at the hips to avoid compression of the intra-abdominal cavity, which could artificially elevate CSF pressure through transmission of raised pressure within the intrathoracic cavity and consequently increase cerebral venous blood pressure.
