title: [Role of air-CT-meato-cisternography in the diagnosis of acoustic neuroma].
abstract: The CT-meato-cisternography with air is at the moment the examination of choice in the diagnosis of the intra-canalicular acoustic neuroma. Every time there is a possibility of acoustic neuroma the air-CT-meato-cisternography has to be performed after the CT-scan was negative. The air-CT-meato-cisternography is easily performed on an outpatient basis and complications are never seen. Filtrated air seems to be the best contrast material.
