  • Title: Posttraumatic lumbar cerebrospinal fluid leak: detection by retrograde in-111-DTPA myeloscintography.
    Author: Colletti PM, Siegel ME.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1981 Sep; 6(9):403-4. PubMed ID: 7273541.
    Abstract:
    A case of lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extravasation with an unsuspected traumatic meningocele after a gunshot wound was detected by means of retrograde myeloscintography using isobaric In-111-DTPA. Our experience and a review of the literature have provided evidence retrograde myeloscintography may be useful for detecting and delineating significant traumatic thoracic and lumbar CSF leaks.
