  • Title: Observations on the differentiation of hydrocephalus occlusus in infancy and early childhood using computerized axial tomography (CAT).
    Author: Ostertag C, Hemmer R, Mundinger F.
    Journal: Neuropadiatrie; 1976 Aug; 7(3):322-6. PubMed ID: 989164.
    Abstract:
    Hydrocephalus occlusus in children is caused by obstructions of the aqueduct and occasionally by cystic deformations of the posterior cranial cavre presented which were initially discovered by computerized axial tomography (CAT). The value of CAT becomes obvious since it can clearly demonstrate cystic and other lesions, size of ventricles and the course of a hydrocephalus. The method is non-invasive and there is no stress for the patient at all.
