  • Title: Transmural passage of subarachnoid metrizamide into a cystic acoustic schwannoma of the cerebellopontine angle: a diagnostic dilemma.
    Author: Kingsley DP, Thornton A, Furneaux C, King TT.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1984; 26(4):319-21. PubMed ID: 6611515.
    Abstract:
    CT metrizamide cisternography performed in a patient with a non-enhancing cerebellopontine angle tumour demonstrated an increase in attenuation within the cystic area between the immediate scan and that undertaken 4 h later indicating delayed inward diffusion of the contrast. At operation the tumour was found to be a cystic acoustic schwannoma of the cerebellopontine angle. Diffusion of metrizamide was not previously been reported across the wall of a cystic tumour.
