CSF STUDIES

Tc-DTPA or In-111 is used. It has to be injected into the CSF via a lumbar puncture. You can then observe whether:

1. Any appears in the nose = fractured cribriform plate causing CSF rhinorrhea
...an example of a negative study because you see the CSF bathing the brain and spinal cord, but nothing is seen in the nose.
