By its ability to differentiate the densities of various intracranial tissues, computed tomography is an ideal tool to investigate the postoperative course and complications of neurosurgical patients. The most important immediate postoperative complications are intracerebral edema and epidural, subd
CT cisternography and CSF scintigraphy are indispensable in the detailed morphologic and etiologic evaluation of special types of childhood hydrocephalus. In addition these investigations afford interesting insights into CSF dynamics in apparently complete membranous or tumorous obstruction of the f
