Examining the Outflow and Egress of Cerebrospinal Fluid along the Lumbar Spine Nerve Roots

Abstract

Diana Malis

Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear, colorless body fluid found within the tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. It serves multiple critical functions, including cushioning the brain within the skull, serving as a shock absorber for the central nervous system, removing waste products from the brain, and providing a stable chemical environment. Understanding the dynamics of CSF outflow and egress is crucial for diagnosing and treating various neurological conditions. This article delves into the mechanisms and pathways of CSF outflow and egress along the lumbar spine nerve roots.
