New lumbar method for monitoring cerebrospinal fluid pressure in rats.

Monitoring cerebrospinal fluid pressure or intracranial pressure (ICP) is crucial in the study of neurosurgical disorders. In the present study, we report a new lumbar method for monitoring ICP in rats. ⋯ This new lumbar-ICP method is simple, safe, easy, and reliable in rats. Continued lumbar-ICP measurements provided monitoring for up to 24 h after experimental manipulation.
