The cerebrospinal fluid is obtained by a cerebrospinal fluid puncture (see “Cerebrospinal fluid puncture”). The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless fluid containing only a few cells that washes … Cerebrospinal Fluid Diagnostics

Puncture of the dural sac is usually performed in the region of the lumbar vertebrae (= lumbar puncture). It is performed primarily for the diagnosis … Cerebrospinal Fluid Puncture
Ascites is a pathological (abnormal) accumulation of water in the abdominal cavity. This can be caused by many different diseases. In about 80% of all cases, the occurrence of ascites is due to parenchymal liver disease (80% of cases; essentially because of cirrhosis/damage to the liver and marked remodeling of liver tissue). In about 20 … Examination of an Ascites Punctate
Pleural effusion is a pathological (abnormal) increase in fluid content between the pleura parietalis (pleura) and the pleura visceralis (pleura of the lung), which can be caused by a wide variety of diseases. As part of the diagnosis and treatment of the various forms of pleural effusion, the fluid obtained by puncture is subjected to … Examination of a Pleural Effusion
