A. The drawing shows intracranial upstream lymphatic regions #1, #2, and #3 that drain through the nasopharyngeal lymphatic plexus (NPLP) en route to medial deep cervical lymphatics and deep cervical ...

This diagram shows the pathways cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) takes as it flows from the brain’s surface through facial lymphatic vessels and into lymph nodes in the neck. Scientists at the Institute for ...

The 2015 discovery of lymphatic vessels in the brain’s meninges threw open a door to seeing how this still-mysterious organ clears waste. Subsequent work showed that these vessels, which reside in the ...

In this Innovation Spotlight, Dan Levangie, president and chief executive officer of CereVasc, discusses a new treatment strategy for NPH using an endovascularly implantable CSF shunt that minimizes ...

Hydrocephalus, commonly referred to as "water on the brain," is a dangerous and potentially deadly condition that can harm ...

Winner of the Synthes Skull Base Award, Nathan T. Zwagerman, MD, presented his research, A Prospective, Randomized Control Trial for Lumbar Drain Placement after Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base ...

New research reveals that a particular group of lymphatic vessels plays a pivotal role in helping the brain dispose of waste. It also suggests that deterioration of these vessels through aging could ...

For years, scientists thought the brain lacked a lymphatic system, raising questions about how fluid, macromolecules, and immune cells escape the organ. In 2015, two studies in mice provided evidence ...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, also called pseudotumor cerebri, refers to elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure that develops most often in women of reproductive age with obesity, causing ...
