Cytologic examination of the cerebrospinal fluid is a technically
simple, yet productive, diagnostic procedure. Integrated Cytology of
Cerebrospinal Fluid is a practical guide to this method used in the
diagnosis of different pathologies. High-quality slides depict the
common cerebrospinal fluid cell types, cell anomalies in inflammatory
conditions and neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders, and cases with
contaminants. The integrated approach includes the use of
immunocytochemical, histological, and immunohistological illustrations
and quantitative date in addition to descriptions and photographs of
cytologic preparations. Complete with comprehensive technical
descriptions, and abundantly illustrated in color, this text will be
required reading for pathologists, physicians and technicians dealing
with CSF cytology, as well as neurologists and neurosurgeons.
