[Diagnostic value of cerebrospinal fluid spectrophotometry in acute cerebral circulatory disorders].

The direct spectrophotometry of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is recommended as an auxiliary method for differential diagnosis in patients with acute cerebrovascular disorders. Using both literature data and their own findings the authors have developed the scheme of spectrophotometry of the CSF which includes measuring the optic density in 265, 280, 365, 400, 415, 450, 460, 530 and 540 nm. This measuring in 9 ranges makes it possible to identify the character of the illness without analyzing the optic density in the full spectrum of ultraviolet and visible light.
