This study is just extrapolation of authors work to the existing fact in a bizarre way. Good news is a stimulus to recapitulate intracranial hypotension- SPONTANEOUS or IATROGENIC ? <br/>Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (spontaneous CSF leaking) often difficult to diagnose and treat rather than traumatic or iatrogenic CSF leaking. RI cisternography is used but not conclusive, 30% of spontaneous CSF leaking remain undiagnosed even with RI cisternography. Early bladder filling was observed before too, nothing hypothesize or discussed about the possibility of EBF. How about the tracer concentration around the micturition center in brain ? Lumbar puncture is routinely practiced procedures in the clinical wards and PLH is a common phenomenon, not a challenge for physician. What is the suggestions for the size of needle for LP ? if it is the iatrogenic intracranial hypotension ? Nothing indicating about the spontaneous CSF leaking, totally ignored the challenging condition ? <br/> <br/> <br/> Dr.Md.Gulam Mostafa <br/> Department of Anatomy, UAMC <br/> Dhaka, Bangladesh <br/> e-mail: md_gulammostafa@yahoo.com <br/></p> Md.Gulam Mostafa 2009-06-29T00:00:00Z http://www.cerebrospinalfluidresearch.com/content/1/1/4/comments#160454 <p>We mistakenly referred to the 2001 Casey Holter Essay "Humanity lost: the cost of cortical maldevelopment" as reference 7. It is an interesting article, but not relevant to this paragraph of our paper. We apologise for this authors' error.</p><p>Pippa Oakeshott and Gillian M Hunt</p> Pippa Oakeshott 2005-02-27T00:00:00Z http://www.cerebrospinalfluidresearch.com/content/1/1/2/comments#155454 <p>This article confirms a popular explanation for the clinical observation that children with acute hydrocephalus (usually due to malfunction of an implanted CSF shunt) often have "swollen" eyes noted by their parents. I hope the authors are successful in additional human studies, so we can understand the range of variation in these channels.</p><p>An important clinical issue is the effect of brain size and size ratios on the application of these results. Many small mammals have brains that are comparable to (or within an order of magnitude of) the size of their eyes. Similarly, many large mammals have brains that are comparable in size to their peripheral olfactory systems. In humans, conversely, the brain is 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than either of these organs. So, the importance of these pathways in humans may be relatively small, not because they do not exist, but because there is so much more (CSF-producing) brain proportionately present.</p> Samuel Neff 2005-02-17T00:00:00Z http://www.cerebrospinalfluidresearch.com/content/1/1/2/comments#148454 <p> Important work. Well done.</p><p> Did the subarachnoid Microfil appear in arachnoid granulations and/or in dural wall tissues of cavernous sinus?</p> Martin Lubow 2005-02-07T00:00:00Z
