Understanding Leucostasis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Leucostasis is a condition where there is an accumulation of white blood cells in the tissues, particularly in the brain and spinal cord. It can be caused by various factors such as infections, inflammatory diseases, and certain types of cancer. Leucostasis can cause a range of symptoms depending on the location and severity of the condition, including headaches, seizures, weakness or paralysis, and changes in mental status. Treatment options for leucostasis depend on the underlying cause, but may include antibiotics, steroids, and other medications to reduce inflammation and promote healing. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove infected tissue or relieve pressure on affected areas.
