[Correlation of encephalotomography and computer tomography in space occupying lesions in the midline and cerebellopontine angle (author's transl)].
The diagnostic value of encephalotomography and computer tomography in neuroradiology of midline tumors is discussed. Characteristic differences of both methods are summarized. The following conclusions of clinical importance are derived from our experiences: 1. Computer tomography is the most valuable method in the diagnostic procedure of midline tumors. Encephalography is not necessary is cases with density differences of tumor and surrounding brain tissue or contrast enhancement. 2. Encephalotomography should be performed in cases with dislocation of cisternes and ventricles without density differences or contrast enhancement. 3. Encephalotomography is the method of choice in patients with unclear computer tomography and contradictory clincial symptomatology.
