Meningeal dissemination of retinoblastoma: CT findings in eight patients.
Thirty-seven patients with retinoblastoma were evaluated prospectively by clinical examination, lumbar puncture, and CT. Eight (22%) of the 37 were found to have meningeal dissemination. The tumor was bilateral in three patients. Two cases showed no CT signs of local recurrence. Headache, nausea/vomiting, and restlessness were the most common symptoms. CT scans in these patients showed diffuse meningeal contrast enhancement, nodular masses, ependymal-subependymal enhancement, and ventricular dilatation. Our series of eight patients with meningeal spread illustrates a considerable range of dissemination patterns referable to retinoblastoma. One case illustrated the CT finding of multiple epidural metastases.

Saccular aneurysms in basilar artery fenestration.
Of 59 cases of vertebrobasilar junction aneurysms diagnosed and treated from January 1977 to April 1986, 21 (35.5%) saccular aneurysms arose in a fenestration of the proximal basilar artery. Defects of the media at the junctures of the fenestrated segments, as well as the possible presence of turbulent flow at the vertebrobasilar junction, may explain the high incidence of vertebrobasilar aneurysms associated with proximal basilar artery fenestration.

A comparison of iopamidol and iohexol in cerebral angiography.
Iopamidol and iohexol, the new nonionic low-osmolality contrast agents, have both been shown to be safe, effective, and better tolerated than conventional ionic agents for cerebral angiography. In this randomized, double-blind study involving 40 patients, these two agents were compared for adverse effects, radiographic quality, and patient tolerance. No significant differences were observed in 220 injections. Because we found iopamidol and iohexol to be equally safe and effective for cerebral angiography, the choice of which contrast agent to use should be based on other considerations.
