Abstract:
Using a sensitive isotachophoretic technique total cerebrospinal fluid protein, CSF-serum albumin and CSF-serum IgG ratios as indicators of blood-CSF barrier integrity were determined in 35 cases of ischemic cerebral infarction. Since it proved to be changed in about 57% of these patients, the CSF-serum albumin ratio was found to be the most sensitive parameter in evaluating the blood-CSF barrier disturbances. No clear-cut correlation was found between the age of patients, the clinical course of the disease, different periods after onset of the illness nor the size of the infarction and CSF-blood barrier permeability.
