Excitatory amino acids in cerebrospinal fluid and their relations with clinical features and outcomes in acute head injury.
To determine the contents and dynamics of excitatory amino acids (EAAs), glutamate (GLU) and aspartate (ASP) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with acute head injury and to clarify the relationship of EAAs with clinical features and outcomes. ⋯ The content of EAAs in CSF increases following acute head injury and remains higher at least a week post-injury in severely injured patients. The more severe the trauma, the more obvious the excitotoxicity induced by EAAs; the more serious the secondary brain insult and the brain edema will be, the worse the outcome, naturally.
