CT-ventriculography to control the passage of cerebrospinal fluid. Technical note.
In conventional ventriculography used to confirm free passage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), bony overprojections often makes it difficult to visualize the contrast medium in the cranio-spinal subarachnoid spaces. CT-ventriculography offers an alternative. Because of the high density resolution, even small amounts of contrast material can be seen in the subarachnoid spaces of the cranio-cervical region. Its usefulness is demonstrated in a series of 15 cases.
