Institute of Neuroradiology, Medical Faculty, University of the Saarland, Homburg/Saar, West Germany.

A prospective study was carried out in 29 patients to test the validity of the combined and simultaneous use of isotope cisternography and CT cisternography in the diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. One of the conclusions reached was that a combination of the two procedures possibly gives the easiest and most effective diagnosis.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D002559	Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea	Discharge of cerebrospinal fluid through the nose. Common etiologies include trauma, neoplasms, and prior surgery, although the condition may occur spontaneously.
