The study of infantile hydrocephalus with combined air and isotope ventriculography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for a combined air and isotope ventriculography is described. Twenty-nine infants with suspected hydrocephalus were studied. The merit of the combined study is the possibility of obtaining both anatomical and functional information. A very small amount of radioactivity-15 μc-was found to give satisfactory results. Patterns of cerebrospinal fluid flow in communicating and non-communicating hydrocephalus and in cases of porencephalic cyst and complete obstruction of the lateral ventricles are described.

Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in the Arnold-Chiari malformation.
A myelomeningocele associated with the ArnoldChiari malformation is now one of the commonest neonatal surgical emergencies. Hydrocephalus used to be the main cause of death in these infants during the first year of life, but since the advent of ventriculo-atrial shunting procedures the mortality and morbidity have improved. However, the management of the hydrocephalus still remains a serious pr...

متن کاملMR ventriculography for the study of CSF flow.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Various MR techniques have been used to assess CSF flow and to image the subarachnoid spaces and ventricles. Anecdotal reports describe the use of intrathecal and intraventricular gadolinium-based contrast agents in humans and animals. We sought to determine the clinical usefulness of gadolinium-enhanced MR ventriculography for assessing CSF flow in patients with various ...
متن کاملDetermination of 137Ba Isotope Abundances in Water Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma-optical Emission Spectrometry Combined with Least-squares Support Vector Machine Regression
A simple and rapid method for the determination of 137Ba isotope abundances in water samples by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) coupled with least-squares support vector machine regression (LS-SVM) is reported. By evaluation of emission lines of barium, it was found that the emission line at 493.408 nm provides the best results for the determination...
متن کاملSonographic ventriculography: a new potential use for sonographic contrast agents in neonatal hydrocephalus.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sonographic identification of communicating and noncommunicating forms of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus can be difficult. This study evaluates the feasibility of using sonographic contrast agents to determine ventricular patency in a newborn animal model. METHODS A craniotomy was performed and a catheter was placed under sonographic guidance into the lateral ventricle i...
