The cisternal ventricle.
نویسنده
چکیده
Hydrocephalus communicating with the basilar subarachnoid cisterns may manifest itself as enlargement of these spaces. Confirmation of this finding is based on resolution of dilatation after ventricular shunting. A series of eight patients points out the CT characteristics, the differential diagnosis, and the importance of the cisternal ventricle in the transmission of CSF.

Passage of intravenously administered tubocurarine into the liquor space in man and dog.
1. In anaesthetized patients under controlled respiration, samples of lumbar cerebrospinal fluid were withdrawn 15 and 60 min after an intravenous injection of 30 mg tubocurarine. When tested on the frog rectus muscle preparation contracted by acetylcholine, they exerted curare-like activity which corresponded to between 0.05 and 0.33 mug/ml tubocurarine.2. In dogs anaesthetized with pentobarbi...
متن کاملEnlargement of the third ventricle and hyponatraemia in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Hyponatraemia following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage is associated with an increased risk of cerebral infarction. Whether the development of hyponatraemia was related to enlargement of the third ventricle on the admission CT scan was investigated in a consecutive series of 133 patients who were seen within 72 hours of aneurysmal haemorrhage. Hyponatraemia occurred significantly more ofte...

متن کاملDistribution, surface density, and membrane area of diadic junctional contacts between plasma membrane and terminal cisterns in mammalian ventricle.
The surface density of diadic junctional complexes (DJC) between plasmalemma and terminal cisternal membrane, as well as the areas of plasmalemmal and cisternal membrane involved in DJC, have been determined morphometrically in external plasmalemmal envelope and T-system of rabbit, rat, and mouse ventricular heart muscle. In all three species, both the surface density and the plasmalemmal area ...
