CSF Leakage Evaluation Nasal Ear Discharge Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure aimed at identifying the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in nasal or ear discharge. This test is particularly crucial for individuals who have symptoms suggestive of a CSF leak, such as clear fluid drainage from the nose or ear, especially if it increases with sneezing, coughing, or straining. CSF leaks can result from trauma, surgical procedures, or can be spontaneous, and it’s important to diagnose them promptly to prevent complications like infections.

The test involves collecting a sample of the discharge and analyzing it for the presence of beta-2 transferrin, a protein that is uniquely found in cerebrospinal fluid, making it a definitive marker for CSF leakage. This non-invasive test provides a reliable means of confirming or ruling out a breach between the cranial cavity and the nasal or ear passages.

At DNA Labs UAE, the CSF Leakage Evaluation Nasal Ear Discharge Test is available for a cost of 1290 AED. DNA Labs UAE is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and employs highly skilled professionals to conduct this test, ensuring accurate and reliable results. The test is performed under strict quality control measures, adhering to the highest standards of diagnostic testing.

CSF Leakage Evaluation Nasal/Ear Discharge Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CSF Leakage Evaluation Nasal/Ear Discharge Test to diagnose and determine the cause of nasal or ear discharge. This test is commonly performed when there is suspicion of a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, which is the leakage of the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.

Test Details

The CSF Leakage Evaluation Nasal/Ear Discharge Test includes the following components:

  • BTP, CSF
  • BTP, Serum
  • Ratio

The price for this test is 1290.0 AED.

Sample Condition

For the test, we require 2 mL (1 mL min.) of nasal/ear discharge in a sterile screw capped container, as well as 2 mL (1 mL min.) of serum in 1 SST. Please ensure that the samples are shipped refrigerated and not frozen.

Report Delivery

Sample collection is available on Mondays and Thursdays by 9 am, and the report will be delivered on the same day.

Method

The CSF Leakage Evaluation Nasal/Ear Discharge Test is performed using nephelometry.

Test Type

This test is categorized under Head Injury.

Doctor

The CSF Leakage Evaluation Nasal/Ear Discharge Test is conducted by ENT Surgeons and Neuro Surgeons.

Pre Test Information

No special preparation is required for this test.

What is CSF Leakage Evaluation?

The CSF leakage evaluation is a medical test used to diagnose and determine the cause of nasal or ear discharge. It is typically performed when there is suspicion of a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, which is the leakage of the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.

Test Procedure

During the CSF Leakage Evaluation Nasal/Ear Discharge Test, a healthcare professional will typically perform the following steps:

  1. Medical history: The healthcare professional will ask about your symptoms, including the duration and nature of the discharge, any head trauma or previous surgeries, and any other relevant medical conditions.
  2. Physical examination: The healthcare professional will perform a physical examination, focusing on the head, neck, and ears. They may also perform a neurological examination to check for any signs of CSF leakage.
  3. Imaging tests: Imaging tests such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be ordered to assess the structure of the skull and detect any abnormalities that may be causing the CSF leak.
  4. Laboratory tests: A sample of the discharge may be collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory tests may include biochemical analysis, glucose measurement, and detection of beta-2 transferrin, which is specific to CSF.
  5. Beta-2 transferrin test: This test is highly specific for CSF leakage. It involves analyzing the collected discharge sample for the presence of beta-2 transferrin. If beta-2 transferrin is detected, it confirms the presence of CSF in the discharge.
  6. Lumbar puncture: In some cases, a lumbar puncture (also known as a spinal tap) may be performed. During this procedure, a small needle is inserted into the lower back to collect a sample of CSF for analysis. This test can help confirm the presence of a CSF leak and determine its source.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Once the CSF leakage evaluation is complete, the healthcare professional will review the results and make a diagnosis. Treatment options will depend on the underlying cause of the CSF leak and may include conservative management, medication, or surgery.
