  • Look Inside

We examined the level of sialic acid in cere-brospinal fluid (CSF) in 20 patients with brain tumor, and 5 patients with non-neoplastic disease of central nervous system. CSF concentration of sialic acid in the patients with malignant and semi-malignant or benign brain tumor was 5.26± 2.39 mg/dl, and 1.82 ±.1.61 mg/dl, respectively. In patients with non-neoplastic disease, it was 1.64 ±1.53 mg/dl. The difference between groups was statistically significant (p <O. 005). In two patients with malignant brain tumor, the level of sialic acid was decreased by radiation therapy or intrathecal chemotherapy.

In conclusion, CSF concentration of sialic acid was significant of diagnosis of brain tumor cha-racter of malignancy, and effect of therapy for CSF dissemination.
