Cerebrospinal fluid cytology in the diagnosis of neurological diseases

RNDr. Kateřina Klíčová
Neurologická klinika FN a LF UP Olomouc

Cerebrospinal fluid analysis is an important part of the diagnosis of many diseases and is used across many medical disciplines. The changes that take place in the central nervous system are reflected in the composition of the cerebrospinal fluid. A wide range of laboratory methods is used for cerebrospinal fluid analysis, one of which is cytological analysis. Cerebrospinal fluid cytology makes it possible to obtain valuable information about the processes taking place in the central nervous system of the examined patient in a relatively short period of time and with common means. Quantitative and qualitative cytology is a simple and technically undemanding method, but an experienced cytologist is needed.

Keywords: cerebrospinal fluid, cytology, history.
