  • Title: A new radionuclide method for the diagnosis of posttraumatic cerebrospinal fistulas. A study of 308 cases.
    Author: Mamo L, Cophignon J, Rey A, Thurel C.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1982 Jul; 57(1):92-8. PubMed ID: 7086505.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe their technique for identifying and localizing posttraumatic cerebrospinal fluid fistulas. The method entails injection of radionuclide tracer into the subarachnoid frontal space with the patient in a sitting position followed by gamma camera scintigraphic recordings. The results in 308 patients are presented; these are compared with those of suboccipital radionuclide cisternography in 40 cases and metrizamide computerized tomography cisternography in nine cases. Transient complications occurred in only three patients.
