Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear and watery liquid that flows in and around the brain and spinal cord. Its functions ...

Study design: Review and analysis of seven cases of syringomyelia treated surgically. Objective: To demonstrate the beneficial role of decompressive surgery for the altered cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...

Cognitive decline, gait disturbance, and urinary incontinence are common in older adults, but atypical findings such as rapid decline, weakness, leptomeningeal disease, and abnormal cerebrospinal ...

The space between the arachnoid and pia meningeal layers encasing the brain is a landscape of connective tissue, blood vessels, and cerebrospinal fluid. Scientists debate how that fluid moves within ...

In kids with hydrocephalus and other developmental brain disorders, disordered cerebrospinal fluid dynamics is accountable for the changes in brain development. In rodents, the cerebrospinal fluid ...

Researchers have discovered, in rodents, that fluid that circulates through the brain flows to areas critical for normal brain development and function, suggesting that disruptions to its circulation ...

Hydrocephalus is an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles. Surgery is the first-line and most effective treatment. The two primary surgeries are the Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) ...

Found in humans and zebrafish, these mutated genes damage the cilia—tiny hair-like projections that line the spinal canal and help move the fluid — and lead to a curvature of the spine. Researchers ...

Irregular fluid flow through the spinal column brought on by gene mutations is linked to a type of scoliosis that can affect humans during adolescence, a new study in zebrafish suggests. Also found in ...
