METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF CEREBRAL TUMORS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, clinical neurology, neurosurgery.

SUBSTANCE: one should perform crystallographic study if cerebrospinal fluid and at protein concentration in liquor samples being from 0.50 g/l and higher at predominance of crystals as suppressed dendrites upon a crystallographic picture one should diagnose a malignant cerebral tumor, and at protein concentration being below 0.50 g/l and predominance of crystals as branched dendrites - a benign cerebral tumor. The innovation enables to fulfill not only due diagnostics of cerebral neoplasms, but detect the degree of tumor process malignancy at the early stages of its development.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of differential diagnostics.
