A method has been developed for blood-brain barrier disruption to provide reproducible access to the cerebrospinal fluid of the cerebellomedullary cistern. The technique was used successfully to investigate transfer of pancuronium to the cerebral CSF compartment in pigs. After osmotic disruption of the blood-brain barrier, pancuronium concentrations increased significantly in the cerebrospinal fluid.
