title: [Reference values of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, inorganic phosphate and magnesium levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of children].
abstract: Concentration of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, inorganic phosphate and magnesium was determined in cerebrospinal fluid of 155 children (ages 1 month - 16 years). On the basis of clinical criterions the children were considered to be "healthy". The total number of examined children was 2 500 (1978-1983). The statistical age- and sexspecific investigation of the results showed no significant differences. Compilation of the values resulted in a physiological concentration of sodium 132.3 +/- 17.6 mval/l, potassium 2,59 +/- 0.37 mval/l, chloride 113.1 +/- 15.5 mval/l, calcium 3.47 +/- 1.45 mval/l, inorganic phosphate 1.11 +/- 0.21 mg/dl and magnesium 2.60 +/- 0.46 mg/dl.
