TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Pathophysiology of cerebrospinal fluid in head injury: Part 1. Pathological changes in cerebrospinal fluid solute composition after traumatic injury JO - Neurosurgery A1 - Bakay, R. A. A1 - Sweeney, K. M. A1 - Wood, J. H. SP - 234 EP - 243 VL - 18 IS - 2 N2 - After head injury, many complex neurochemical events occur locally, at the site of initial injury, and globally, as a result of secondary phenomena. Neurochemical alterations in the cerebrospinal fluid after injury can be utilized to reflect these events. The authors review the role of the cerebrospinal fluid in the treatment of head injury as it relates to the diagnosis, prognosis, and further elucidation of the pathophysiological manifestations of head injury at the cellular and biochemical level.
