Depiction of a postoperative pseudomeningocele with digital subtraction myelography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital subtraction myelography is described for its utility in the detection of dural leaks associated with pseudomeningoceles. Although myelography, CT, and MR imaging have been described as effective means for diagnosing pseudomeningocele, this complicated entity can be difficult to diagnose.

Supine digital subtraction myelography for the demonstration of a dorsal cerebrospinal fluid leak in a patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension: a technical note.
A patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension due to a spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak required localization of the leakage site prior to surgical management. Conventional, computed tomography and prone digital subtraction myelography failed to localize the dural tear, which was postulated to be dorsally located. We present here a digital subtraction myelographic approach to accurat...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of CT myelography, MR myelography, and both in neonatal brachial plexus palsy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although most infants with brachial plexus palsy recover function spontaneously, approximately 10-30% benefit from surgical treatment. Pre-operative screening for nerve root avulsions is helpful in planning reconstruction. Our aim was to compare the diagnostic value of CT myelography, MR myelography, and both against a surgical criterion standard for detection of complete...
متن کاملLocalization of a rapid CSF leak with digital subtraction myelography.
A 53-year-old woman with superficial siderosis underwent spinal MR imaging, which demonstrated a large cervicothoracic epidural fluid collection compatible with a CSF leak. Conventional and dynamic CT myelography failed to localize the dural tear because of rapid equilibration of myelographic contrast between the thecal sac and the extradural collection. The superior temporal resolution of digi...
متن کاملConventional vs Computed Radiography : Evaluation of Myelography 165
Digital imaging is becoming widely used in diagnostic radiology, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is now generally accepted [1-3]. Several studies have evaluated digital imaging using a computed radiography system for chest examinations [4-10] and for excretory urography [11] . This prospective study uses receiver operating curve analysis [12 , 13] to compare the diagnostic accuracy of...
متن کاملIntradural spinal vein enlargement in craniospinal hypotension.
We present a case of craniospinal hypotension in a 45-year-old woman with an associated epidural pseudomeningocele extending the entire length of the spine. The epidural pseudomeningocele was caused by a CSF leak at the T8 level. In addition to typical low-pressure symptoms, the epidural pseudomeningocele caused atypical symptoms characterized by positional thoracic radiculopathy. Craniospinal ...
