Metrizamide Ct Cisternography

The evolutionary concepts of pinpointing and treating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulas over the past few decades are reviewed taking into consideration the dynamic character of CSF circulation. The localization of the site of leakage is greatly facilitated by the judicious use of a variety of radioisotope and radiological techniques. The most recent are Metrizamide CT Cisternography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is asserted that still the most challenging cases are those with intermittent liquorrheas, and those patients in which the site of the fistula is not easily defined. The authors will describe their personal experience with intracranial surgical repair of fistulas located in the anterior fossa.

✓ Metrizamide computerized tomographic cisternography (MCTC) has proved 100% successful in documenting the precise anatomic location of the dural osseous defect in three patients with sphenoethmoidal rhinorrhea. In each patient, direct surgical approach to the site indicated by MCTC terminated the leakage in a single procedure. Clinical evaluation has disclosed no renewed leakage during a follow-up period from 6 to 18 months.

Fluid Fistula

AbstractLocalisation of a cerebrospinal fluid fistula in the nasal region is difficult. Lack of a suitable roentgen contrast medium for intrathecal use has earlier restricted theutility of cisternography. Metrizamide cisternography and CT have recently proved to be well tolerated and effective in revealing CSF fistulae. A case report of operatively treated CSF rhinorrhea recurring after three years is presented. With the help of CT metrizamide cisternography, the fistula could finally be localised in the sphenoidal sinus. The re-operation confirmed this finding. The technique of cisternography is described.
