title: Ventriculography with positive contrast medium in early infancy.
abstract: 42 ventriculographies (PV) were carried out in infants between 10 days and 10 months of age using positive contrast medium. Indications, technique of PV and complications are discussed; PV is compared with CT and it is concluded that PV is a simple method of clarifying the causes of a macrocephalus in infancy without great technical effort and that the roles of CT and PV are valuable diagnostic modalities which are complementary.
