[The CT-scan and hypocycloidal cysternography with water soluble non ionic contrast media (metrizamide and iopamidol) in sellar and parasellar lesions (author's transl)].
A group of 30 patients with sellar or parasellar lesions were investigated by CT-scan and hypocycloidal tomography after lumbar injection of water-soluble non ionic contrast media. The combination of the 2 techniques (CT-scan and tomography) allowed very satisfactory diagnostic results and the excellent tolerance of non-ionic contrast was confirmed in this patient series.
