  • Title: Determination of HVA and 5-HIAA in ventricular CSF of patients with brain tumors.
    Author: Porta M, Bareggi SR, Collice M, Ferrara M, Calderini G, Morselli PL.
    Journal: J Neurosurg Sci; 1974; 18(3):157-63. PubMed ID: 4465414.
    Abstract:
    Ventricular concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were evaluated in 17 patients suffering from brain tumor and 4 pseudo-tumor patients. Significant differences were observed in those patients in whom the tumor leads to a marked modified CSF dynamic. No relationship were on the contrary observed between VFP and HVA or 5-HIAA levels.
