Ventriculography with positive contrast medium in early infancy.
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.
