Prostaglandin analog effects on cerebrospinal fluid reabsorption via nasal mucosa.

Prostaglandin F2alpha analogs delivered by nasal inhalation resulted in increased nasal recovery of a CSF fluorescent tracer, implying increased CSF outflow via the nasal lymphatics. The greatest effect, partially dose-dependent, was observed using latanoprost. Further studies are needed to determine the efficacy of these agents in reducing ICP in short and long-term applications.
