متن کاملIs early bladder activity in radionuclide cisternography an indirect sign of spontaneous intracranial hypotension or sequence of lumbar puncture?
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is characterized by severe postural headache and low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure. Radionuclide cisternography (RC) is of some value in diagnosing CSF leakage causing SIH. However, the sensitivity of RC is too low to demonstrate the site of leakage. In these cases, the early appearance of the radioactivity in the urinary bladder has also been use...
متن کاملDetection of cerebrospinal fluid leakage in intracranial hypotension with radionuclide cisternography and blood activity monitoring.
UNLABELLED Radionuclide cisternography is an indispensable examination to detect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in patients suspected of having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). However, it sometimes fails to demonstrate the site of CSF leakage, and in such cases, early bladder visualization is utilized for the diagnosis of SIH as an indirect finding. The aim of this work is to imp...
