title: [Inositol in the cerebrospinal fluid, plasma and erythrocytes in spinal pain syndromes].
abstract: The studies, performed on 40 patients with brachialgia and ischialgia syndromes, showed higher CSF inositol concentrations in comparison with healthy subjects. The highest rise was observed particularly in patients in the initial stage of disease, while the rise was lower in more severe forms of the disease and in cases with root compression confirmed by radiculography. Blood plasma and erythrocyte concentrations of inositol and phosphatidylinositol were within normal range, although they significantly differed in various brachialgia and ischialgia syndromes.
