Abstract
CSF polyamine determinations (75) were evaluated in 16 patients with medulloblastoma. Parameters utilized in evaluating patient status for correlation with the polyamine concentrations were neurological examination, computerized tomography, radionuclide scan, myelography and cerebrospinal fluid cytology. Of the 16 patients, 15 showed absolute correlation with the eventual clinical picture. One determination on 1 patient resulted in a false negative. No false positives were observed.
