DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR ASEPTIC INFLAMMATORY PROCESS IN LUMBAR EPIDURAL SPACE IN COMPRESSION SYNDROME

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: diagnostic technique in aseptic inflammatory process in a lumbar epidural space in compression syndrome consists in dissolving a cerebrospinal fluid in water in proportion 1:100 that is followed by absorption spectroscopy at wave lengths 209-211 and 219-221 nm. The derived spectrogram is analysed for maximum absorption coefficient. If the maximum absorption coefficient is more than 8.0±1.24 cm^-1 at wave lengths 209-211 nm or more than 4.36±2.08 cm^-1 at wave lengths 219-221 nm, an aseptic inflammatory process in the epidural space in diagnosed.;EFFECT: technique allows providing higher diagnostic accuracy in normal CSF protein content.;2 ex, 2 dwg
