Abstract

The cerebrospinal fluid is a similar plasma fluid, present in ventricular plexus, bone marrow central channel and subarachnoid space. Changes in its composition may indicate the presence of infections, hydrocephalus, tumors and ischemic processes. Since these conditions may cause irreversible damage to the central nervous system and death, it is important to understand of the laboratory tests with cerebrospinal fluid, because this contributes to the diagnosis of these diseases and targeting the therapeutic approach.
