Metrizamide CT cisternography (CTC) was performed for the evaluation of CSF dynamics and the diagnosis of skull-base tumors. Results of CTC in 52 cases examined for the study of CSF dynamics correlated well with those of isotope cisternography. However, the degree and duration of ventricular stasis

β¦ Synopsis
Metrizamide CT cisternograms were performed on 39 patients with a clinical diagnosis of CSF abnormalities; 20 of these patients underwent radionuclide cisternography as well. Comparison of metrizamide CT and RN cisternography revealed good correlation in the degree, extent, and time sequence of ventricular reflux as well as the extent of cortical staining and cisternal filling. Metrizamide cisternography had the advantage of excellent anatomic detail and lower exposure dose, although minor complications were more frequent with this technique. Metrizamide CT cisternography has a potential to become the preferred method of evaluating patients with abnormal CSF dynamics.

CT and RI cisternography were done on 55 cases with normal and abnormal CSF circulation. Of 19 cases in which both studies were done, 14 cases disclosed a good correspondence. The remaining five cases showed no correspondence because of technical failure. Analyzing the results, CT cisternography dem
