[Contrast ventriculography using dimer-X]. 1977

J Gradzki, and F Tokarz

The authors report the results of 100 Dimer-X ventriculographies mainly in cases of midline tumours. The value of tomography for the diagnosis of tumours is stressed. Besides that, the contrast was used for visulization of intracerebral cavities, emptied abscesses, cavities in astrocytomas and intracerebral haematoma. Complications following the use of Dimer-X for direct filling of the ventricular system are discussed.

D001922	Brain Abscess	A circumscribed collection of purulent exudate in the brain, due to bacterial and other infections. The majority are caused by spread of infected material from a focus of suppuration elsewhere in the body, notably the PARANASAL SINUSES, middle ear (see EAR, MIDDLE); HEART (see also ENDOCARDITIS, BACTERIAL), and LUNG. Penetrating CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA and NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES may also be associated with this condition. Clinical manifestations include HEADACHE; SEIZURES; focal neurologic deficits; and alterations of consciousness.

D001932	Brain Neoplasms	Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
