Computed tomography in the evaluation of encephaloceles in infants and children.
Computed tomography (CT) is an accurate diagnostic modality in the evaluation of encephaloceles. The axial and coronal planes, contrast enhancement attenuation measurement of the contents of the encephalocele, and the use of the standard and reverse modes for viewing the CT images are all valuable in this evaluation.
