The aim of the present study was to define the cellular composition of ventricular, as
compared with lumbar, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with non-inflammatory
neurological disorders (NIND). We addressed this issue by determining the cellular
composition of lumbar CSF from patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) who
were undergoing lumbar CSF drainage during evaluation for shunting procedures, and
evaluating ventricular CSF from a subset of these who underwent subsequent placement of …
