Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless fluid that plays a crucial role in the Central Nervous System (CNS). It serves as a protective cushion, providing mechanical support to the brain and spinal cord, while also participating in waste clearance and chemical signaling. This article provides a comprehensive overview of CSF, including its composition, production, circulation, functions, and clinical significance in various neurological disorders. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) is a vital component of the central nervous system, enveloping the brain and spinal cord in a protective cushion. Its multifaceted role encompasses mechanical protection, metabolic support, waste clearance, and chemical communication. Understanding the fundamental concepts of CSF is essential for comprehending its importance in maintaining CNS homeostasis and its implications for neurological health.
