Beta trace-protein as marker for cerebrospinal fluid fistula. 1987

Neurologische Klinik der Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen.

The detection of beta trace-protein with the help of an easy-to-perform Ouchterlony test is strongly indicative of liquorrhea. The protein has been purified from pooled cerebrospinal fluid and an antiserum has been produced in rabbits. An open CSF fistula was diagnosed in 24 cases and there was no false positive result.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D001812 Blood-Brain Barrier Specialized non-fenestrated tightly-joined ENDOTHELIAL CELLS with TIGHT JUNCTIONS that form a transport barrier for certain substances between the cerebral capillaries and the BRAIN tissue.

D002558 Cerebrospinal Fluid Otorrhea Discharge of cerebrospinal fluid through the external auditory meatus or through the eustachian tube into the nasopharynx. This is usually associated with CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA (e.g., SKULL FRACTURE involving the TEMPORAL BONE;), NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES; or other conditions, but may rarely occur spontaneously.

D002559 Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea Discharge of cerebrospinal fluid through the nose.
