Adverse reactions (aseptic meningitis) from 111-indium-DTPA cisternographic examinations.
Cisternographic examinations have become a relatively common procedure in the evaluation of patients with suspected communicating hydrocephalus. Adverse reactions to radiopharmaceuticals are relatively uncommon, particularly with the commonly used agents such as 111-In-DTPA and 169-Yb-DTPA. Adverse reactions after lumbar intrathecal instillation of 111-In-DTPA in three patients are described.
