[Results of computerized tomography of the skull in hemodialysis patients].
Psychiatric and neurological symptoms as well as the clinical diagnosis of 22 patients on chronic hemodialysis were set in contrast with the findings of the cranial computerized tomography. The cranial computerized tomography turns out to be a valuable diagnostic aid to recognise or exclude morphologic lesions in the central nervous system, particularly because the complex overlap of the various pathogenetic mechanisms in hemodialysed patients points out frequently the little value of the clinical symptoms.
