Extra-axial growth of fourth ventricle tumors - angiographic changes.

Tumors of the fourth ventricle, particularly ependymomas, may grow out of the ventricular cavity into the cerebellopontine angle cistern and the subarachnoid cisterns. The angiographic changes will then suggest both the intra- and extraventricular location of the tumors. The ependymoma is the most prone of the fourth ventricle tumors to demonstrate this pattern of growth.

Cerebellopontine Angle

Computed tomography of the skull base.

By applying a wide window to computed tomography (CT) images, excellent detail of the skull base has been obtained. This technique has been apllied to lesions involving the sellar, parasellar, sphenoid wing, petrous bone, clival, and foramen magnum regions. Thus, CT has proved to have an additional dimension in the delineation of pathology.

Humans

Computed coronal tomography.

A method for obtaining coronal scans of the cranium is described in which a scanner with a tilting gantry is used. Computed coronal tomography is especially useful in the high convexity area and in the suprasellar and foramen magnum regions.

Unusual pelvic masses: a comparison of computed tomographic scanning and ultrasonography.

Four unusual pelvic masses, studied by CT and gray scale ultrasonography, demonstrate the comparative values of these modalities for this area of the body. In each instance a significant contribution to the diagnosis was made by one or both techniques. The ultrasound study provides a somewhat better differentiation of solid from cystic lesions, but the CT scan denotes to best advantage the anatomy of the area, and provides a means of viewing bone as well as soft tissue detail.
