WHAT DOES INTRATHECAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

intrathecal

Intrathecal

Intrathecal is an adjective that refers to something occurring in or introduced into the anatomic space or potential space inside a sheath, most commonly the arachnoid membrane of the brain or spinal cord. For example, intrathecal immunoglobulin production is production of antibodies in the spinal cord, and an intrathecal injection is a route of administration for drugs via an injection into the spinal canal, more specifically into the subarachnoid space so that it reaches the CSF and is useful in spinal anaesthesia, chemotherapy, or pain management applications. This route is also used to introduce drugs that fight certain infections, particularly post-neurosurgical. The drug needs to be given this way to avoid the blood brain barrier. The same drug given orally must enter the blood stream and may not be able to pass out and into the brain. Drugs given intrathecally often have to be made up specially by a pharmacist or technician because they cannot contain any preservative or other potentially harmful inactive ingredients that are sometimes found in standard injectable drug preparations.

Definition of intrathecal in the English dictionary

The definition of intrathecal in the dictionary is occurring within, or introduced into, the space between the layers of tissue which cover the spinal cord, or the space between the layers of tissue which cover the brain.
