Abstract

Ventriculography with metrizamide (Amipaque) was performed in 150 patients. Side effects were mild and no severe reactions were observed. The low toxicity and the low epileptogenic activity of this contrast medium make positive contrast ventriculography a safe neuroradiologic procedure.

Neuroradiological findings in a child with primary leptomeningeal melanoma.

A case of primary leptomeningeal melanoma in a child is presented. The patient was studied with multiple neuroradiological methods, however computed tomography (CT) provided the most important information. The CT findings with leptomeningeal tumor, although not completely specific, do suggest the diagnosis, thus providing important information to explain the acute onset of symptoms in a previously healthy child. This case also differs from previously reported cases in terms of the type of hydrocephalus associated with the tumor.

Ventricular differences between hydrostatic hydrocephalus and hydrocephalus ex vacuo by computed tomography.

Transaxial CT scans of 100 patients with hydrostatic hydrocephalus and 50 patients with hydrocephalus ex vacuo have been reviewed with respect to measurements of: frontal horn ratio, width of the temporal horns, width of the third ventricle, width of cerebral fissures and sulci. The diagnosis of hydrostatic hydrocephalus is probable when (a) both temporal tips are visualized and measure 2 mm or greater in width and the sylvian and interhemispheric fissures and cerebral sulci are not visible, or (b) there is visualization of temporal horn tips measuring 2 mm or greater in width and the lateral ventricles are symmetrically enlarged with the frontal horn ratio 0.50 or more.
