Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The investigators will take cerebral and subarachnoid biopsy by flexible endoscopy in patients without neurological findings. The investigators will use retrospective and prospective patients.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Neurological Disease	Procedure: cerebral flexible endoscopy

Detailed Description

Test the useful of the flexible endoscopy in patients without neurological diagnosis.

Developed a diagnosis method for idiopathic neurological findings.

Compare the cerebral and subarachnoid biopsy each other
