Abstract:
The authors report of ozone administration into the subarachnoid
space for the treatment of chronic scarring--adhesive processes in
the pial membrane. Among the 104 studied patients, 62 had convexital
leptomeningitis, 7--basal, 3--of the posterior cavity and 28 diffuse
forms. In patients with leptomeningitis of the posterior cavity in
the absence of an engorged papilla of the eyeground, ozone was
introduced by occipital punctures, in convexital and basal
leptomeningitis--by lumbar puncture. An introduction of ozone into
the subarachnoid space was conducted in combination with resorptive
and general therapy.
