Çukurova Üniversitesi Tip Fakültesi Nöroşirürji Anabilim Dalı The levels of immunoglobulins in the cyst fluid which were obtained from ten intracranial cystic tumors were determined by radioimmunoassay fluid immunoglobulin values. The serum albumin values were taken as the base in evaluation.

In this study, the levels of immunoglobulins in the cerebrospinal fluid were generally in measurable values. However, we could not find any immonglobulins in the cyst fluid. If more sensitive methods can be used, the measurable values of immunoglobulins in the cerebrospinal fluid can aid us in differentiation of malign and benign tumors or the degree of malignancy.
