[Advantages and risks in metrizamide-meatocisternography (author's transl)].
Meatocisternography with iodinated lipoid contrast media has been proven one of the most reliable diagnostic methods in the evaluation of small cerebellopontine angle tumors. Use of this kind of positive contrast media, however, has certain disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages can be avoided using water soluble contrast medium. Possible adverse reactions demand premedication and clinical observation over a period of 24 hours.
