Cerebrospinal fluid management involves the regulation and maintenance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. This fluid plays a crucial role in protecting the central nervous system, providing nutrients, and removing waste. Proper management is essential to prevent conditions such as hydrocephalus, where excess CSF accumulates, leading to increased pressure in the skull. Techniques for managing CSF include lumbar punctures to remove excess fluid and the use of shunts to redirect CSF flow. Monitoring CSF levels and composition is vital for diagnosing and treating neurological disorders, ensuring the health and function of the central nervous system.
