Bilateral cerebellopontine angle air-CT cisternography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently , new methods in the workup of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors have been established . These include computed tomography (CT) in combination with intravenous injection of contrast material [1], enhancement of cerebrospinal fluid with metrizamide [2], and most recently air-CT cisternography [3 , 4]. We describe a simple technique for examining both cerebellopontine angles with one lumbar puncture using air-CT cisternography. Eight of 10 attempts were successful.

Air CT cisternography in the diagnosis of vascular loop causing vestibular nerve dysfunction.
Considerable interest has developed in otology concerning the relationship between the vascular loop and compression of the eighth nerve, producing vertigo. Several authors have described the radiographic findings relative to the anatomy of these vascular loops. Few previous articles have dealt with cases that have had surgical confirmation or repair of the defect. Our presentation concerns 27 ...
متن کاملAcoustic neuromas: evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging.
Proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were performed in six patients with seven acoustic neuromas, and the results were compared with conventional tomography of the internal auditory canals, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), and air CT cisternography. All tumors were identified with MRI. The three largest tumors (greater than 1 cm diameter) looked similar to the tumors ...
متن کاملGas CT cisternography of trigeminal neuralgia caused by AVM of the cerebellopontine angle.
Recently, percutaneous thermocoagulation [1-3] or retrogasserian glycerol rhizotomy [4, 5] has been used in the treatment of tic douloureux. In a few unsuccessful cases, lesions such as multiple sclerosis, tumors of the cerebellopontine angle, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), or aneurysm of the vertebrobasilar artery system have been reported as the causative factors [5] . Among these, AVM is ...
متن کاملCT in Diagnosis of Acoustic Neuromas 645
A detailed analysis of the CT findings in 75 cases of acoustic neuroma is presented. The method of examination included plain and enhanced CT, metrizamide CT cisternography (M-CTC), and gas CT cisternography (gas-CTC). The common CT appearances of acoustic neuromas were as follows: 93.6% appeared as isodense or hypodense on precontrast scan; homogeneous enhancement was observed in 53.8% on post...
متن کاملHigh-resolution MR cisternography of the cerebellopontine angle: 2D versus 3D fast spin-echo sequences.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The clinical usefulness of MR cisternography of the cerebellopontine angle, applying 2D or 3D fast spin-echo sequences, has been reported recently. Our purpose was to investigate the cause of signal loss in CSF in the prepontine or cerebellopontine angle cistern on 2D FSE MR images and to compare the cisternographic effects of 2D and 3D FSE sequences. METHODS Preliminar...
