title: Combined isotope ventriculography and lumbar myelocisternography in the diagnosis of communicating syringomyelia. Case report.
abstract: Several investigative procedures are currently used to diagnose communicating syringomyelia. The combination of isotope ventriculography and lumbar myelocisternography has never proposed nor carried out to verify this condition. We feel that this is a safe and valuable procedure to identify a patent central canal communicating with the fourth ventricle and is worth considering when diagnosing communicating syringomyelia.
