Demonstration of a symptomatic intraventricular cyst using direct intraventricular metrizamide instillation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some intraventricular mass lesions have proven difficult to delineate, even with a contrast-enhanced CT scan. The combination of intrathecal contrast and CT scanning has been especially useful in studying the ventricles and subarachnoid spaces of both the brain and spinal cord . We report a case in which we instilled metrizamide directly into the body of the left lateral ventricle to show the extent of a suspected intraventricular cyst on a contrast-enhanced CT scan.

Entrance of metrizamide into an intraventricular cysticercosis cyst.
Although many computed tomographic (CT) features of cysticercosis cerebri have been described [1 -5], the recognition of ventricular cysticercosis cysts on plain CT scans is stili generally difficult or impossible . Recently, we observed entrance of metrizamide into a ventricular cysticercosis cyst after ventriculography. This new feature may be specific for intraventricular cyst icercosis cyst...
متن کاملProgressive posttraumatic cystic myelopathy: neuroradiologic evaluation.
The neuroradiologic evaluation and findings in 25 symptomatic patients with surgically proven progressive posttraumatic cystic myelopathy are reviewed. To follow patients with spinal cord injury, neuroradiologic algorithms were developed to confirm and define cystic myelopathy. The algorithm used in the early and mid 1970s relied on the myelographic demonstration of a large cord for suspicion o...
متن کاملNeuroendoscopic Removal of Large Choroid Plexus Cyst: A Case Report
Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are the most common neuroepithelial cysts, occurring in more than 50% of some autopsy series. They are typically small and asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally in older patients, usually in the trigone of the lateral ventricle. Symptomatic CPCs (usually exceptionally large, 2-8 cm) are rare. The authors report a case of large symptomatic choroid plexus cyst, ...
متن کاملNeurocysticercosis: regression of a fourth ventricular cyst with praziquantel.
Symptomatic intraventricular cysticerci are said to respond poorly to the anticestodial agent praziquantel. A case is reported of rapid regression of a large cyst of the fourth ventricle after oral praziquantel, avoiding the need for surgery.
متن کاملDoes transport affect the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants?
Objective: Preterm infants are prone to intraventricular hemorrhage. They may suffer from significant morbidity and mortality particularly in those with high-grade hemorrhage. Our objective was to determine the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants transported to a tertiary center compared with those delivered at the level III facility. Methods: We evaluated all prematu...
