title: [Scintigraphy of the choroid plexus (choroid plexography)].
abstract: An increase concentration of pertechnate in the choroid plexus was demonstrated in 21 patients pretreated with tin pyrophosphate injected intravenously 24 hours before the examination. Using this technique, the choroid plexus are seen quite clearly, giving indirectly a picture of the intracerebral ventricles. A dynamic study was carried out in 12 patients, 3 of whom had abnormalities of the cerebrospinal fluid circulation demonstrated by isotope cisternography. The results obtained were characterised by a typical diphasic curve with variations in the pathological cases.
