Intrathecal gadolinium-enhanced MR cisternography: a comprehensive review.
CE-MRC has been in use for the past 15 years and was reported to be a useful method in the evaluation of CSF disorders and hydrocephalus. The use of CE-MRC in conjunction with other MR imaging techniques has been shown to be effective in selected cases for the evaluation of several disorders of cerebrospinal system. CE-MRC has certain advantages over other cisternographic studies with fewer sid...
متن کاملIntrathecal gadolinium-enhanced MR cisternography in the evaluation of CSF leakage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Radiologic identification of the location of the CSF leakage is important for proper surgical planning and increases the chance of dural repair. This article describes our experience in analyzing clinically suspected cranial CSF fistulas by using MR imaging combined with the intrathecal administration of a gadolinium-based contrast agent. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total o...
متن کاملGadolinium-enhanced MR cisternography to evaluate dural leaks in intracranial hypotension syndrome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We evaluated the use of MR cisternography after intrathecal administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine to detect the presence and localization of CSF leaks in 19 patients diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension syndrome according to the criteria of International Headache Society. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lumbar puncture with an injection of 0.5 mL of gadopente...
متن کاملGadolinium encephalopathy after intrathecal gadolinium injection.
BACKGROUND Gadolinium-induced encephalopathy is a well documented complication due to the inadvertent entrance of a high dose of gadolinium into the intrathecal compartment. In lab animals, injecting gadolinium into the intrathecal compartment resulted in neurotoxicity and seizures. It is also well recognized that the presence of autologous blood in the intrathecal compartment can cause a broad...
متن کاملRadiation-induced optic neuropathy: characteristic appearances on gadolinium-enhanced MR.
PURPOSE To assess the value of contrast-enhanced MR in the evaluation of radiation-induced optic neuropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three patients with rapid visual loss 1 1/2 to 3 years after radiation therapy to the optic nerves were studied with gadopentetate dimeglumine-enhanced MR images. All patients received over 5000 cGy, experienced rapid, permanent visual loss over several days to we...
