In 12 patients with different posterior fossa tumours the concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were measured in cerebrospinal fluid from the lateral ventricles. All patients had obstructive hydrocephalus. Patients with a clear increase of 5-HIAA/HVA ratio in the ventricular CSF have died subsequently. This feature may have a diagnostic value, and indicates the prevalence of serotoninergic neurones in patients with obstructive hydrocephalus with fatal course after surgery.
在12例患有不同后颅窝肿瘤的患者中,测量了侧脑室脑脊液中高香草酸(HVA)和5-羟吲哚乙酸(5-HIAA)的浓度。所有患者均患有梗阻性脑积水。脑室脑脊液中5-HIAA/HVA比值明显升高的患者随后均死亡。这一特征可能具有诊断价值,并表明在术后病程致命的梗阻性脑积水患者中,5-羟色胺能神经元占优势。
