Brainstem evaluation with CT cisternography.
Seventy-eight positive contrast computed tomography (CT) cisternograms were reviewed to assess the normal anatomy of the brainstem and its surrounding cisterns. Normal brainstem and cisternal anatomy was found to be constant and symmetrical. The review included six patients with brainstem gliomas and five patients with extraaxial masses. In these patients CT cisternography accurately identified...
متن کاملBilateral cerebellopontine angle air-CT cisternography.
Recently , new methods in the workup of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors have been established . These include computed tomography (CT) in combination with intravenous injection of contrast material [1], enhancement of cerebrospinal fluid with metrizamide [2], and most recently air-CT cisternography [3 , 4]. We describe a simple technique for examining both cerebellopontine angles with one l...
متن کاملCT cisternography of dolichoectatic arterial compression of the optic chiasm.
Dolichoectasia of the distal internal carotid arteries and the proximal anterior cerebral arteries is a well recognized abnormality. The angiographic and computed tomographic (CT) findings have been described [1-8]. Arterial enlargement has been implicated in chiasmal and optic nerve syndromes [1, 3-9]. We report a symptomatic patient with chiasmal deformity and associated arterial dolichoectas...
متن کاملArachnoiditis simulating acoustic neuroma on air-CT cisternography.
Routine thin-sect ion CT after contrast enhancement may fail to demonstrate smal l acoustic neuromas, usually those smaller than 10 mm [1, 2]. Metrizamide CT cisternography has demonstrated such small acoustic neuromas, but cannot demonstrate an intracanalicular tumor accurately [3]. Pantopaque c isternography can demonstrate an intracanalicular mass, but has a high percentage of inconclusive e...
متن کاملSmall acoustic neuromas: detection by high resolution gas CT cisternography.
Experience with 81 gas computed tomography (CT) cisternography procedures in 79 patients in searching for acoustic neuroma is reported. Twenty-one tumors, four exclusively intracanalicular, were demonstrated after standard contrast-enhanced CT was negative. Fifty-five examinations were negative; four were inconclusive. The high resolution scanner with digital localization and reconstruction zoo...
