متن کاملDetection and quantitation of intermittent CSF rhinorrhea during prolonged cisternography with 111In-DTPA.
In an attempt to improve the diagnosis and to assess the intensity of intermittent cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, indium-111 uptake by nasal pledgets during prolonged cisternography using 111In-DTPA was determined. In 12 patients having suspected cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, cisternograms with calculation of counts/pixel in regions of interest were obtained, blood samples drawn, and nasal p...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea: evaluation with metrizamide cisternography.
Metrizamide computed tomographic cisternography was used to examine 27 patients (19 males and eight females, 14-59 years old) clinically suspected of having cerebrospinal fluid fistulae with rhinorrhea. Twenty-one fistulae were traumatic and six were spontaneous. Five to 6 ml of metrizamide (or lopamidol, two cases) were injected by lumbar puncture at a concentration of 185-200 mg I/ml for dire...
متن کاملIdentification of CSF fistulas by radionuclide counting.
A radionuclide counting method, performed with the patient prone and the neck flexed, was used successfully to diagnose CSF rhinorrhea in two patients. A normal radionuclide ratio (radionuclide counts in pledget/radionuclide counts in 1-ml blood sample) was obtained in 11 normal control subjects. Significance was determined to be a ratio greater than 0.37. Use of radionuclide counting method of...
متن کاملImaging Foreign Bodies: Ingested, Aspirated, and Inserted.
Foreign bodies can gain entrance to the body through several mechanisms, ie, ingestion, aspiration, and purposeful insertion. For each of these common entry mechanisms, this article examines the epidemiology, clinical presentation, anatomic considerations, and key imaging characteristics associated with clinically relevant foreign bodies seen in the emergency department (ED) setting. We detail ...
