[Antifibrinolytic therapy of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Permeation of oral paraaminomethylbenzoic acid in the cerebrospinal fluid]. / Beitrag zur antifibrinolytischen Therapie bei Subarachnoidealblutungen. Untersuchungen über die Permeation der oral applizierten para-Amino-methylbenzoesäure in den Liquor.

Studies of the permeation of PAMBA in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with intact or disturbed BBB function after oral administration of 6 g and withdrawal of the spinal fluid after 120 minutes exclusively showed concentrations which were below the identification threshold of the method using 1 micron per millilitre. Patients suffering from subarachnoidal haemorrhages mainly showed a permeation of PAMBA in the cerebrospinal fluid which, however, only rarely reached the lower therapeutically necessary concentration.
