Effects of contrast media on the canine subarachnoid space. 1978

M Dujovny, and P J Barrionuevo, and N Kossovsky, and R K Laha, and A E Rosenbaum

This study reports an investigation of the canine arachnoid membrane using the scanning electronmicroscope (SEM) regarding the effects of contrast material on these structures. In the normal arachnoid membrane, two basic surface patterns were observed; one fenestrated and the other embossed with parallel fibers. Ventriculography was performed on 30 mongrel dogs divided into five groups: control, air, iophendylate, meglumine iothalamate, and Metrizamide. SEM study of the arachnoid membrane from basal cisterns showed no change after air ventriculography. After contrast agents were used, macrophages appeared and fenestrations became closed with fibrin-like substance.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007462 Iodobenzenes Any derivative of BENZENE that contains IODINE.

D007482 Iothalamate Meglumine A radiopaque medium used for urography, angiography, venography, and myelography. It is highly viscous and binds to plasma proteins. Iotalamate Meglumine,Iothalamic Acid Methylglucamine,Meglumine Iothalamate,Conray 60,Iothalamic Acid Meglumine,Meglumine Iotalamate,Methylglucamine Iotalamate,Methylglucamine Iothalamate,Iotalamate, Meglumine,Iotalamate, Methylglucamine,Iothalamate, Meglumine,Iothalamate, Methylglucamine,Meglumine, Iotalamate,Meglumine, Iothalamate,Meglumine, Iothalamic Acid,Methylglucamine, Iothalamic Acid
D008793 Metrizamide A solute for density gradient centrifugation offering higher maximum solution density without the problems of increased viscosity. It is also used as a resorbable, non-ionic contrast medium. Amipak,Amipaque
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D000388 Air The mixture of gases present in the earth's atmosphere consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001099 Arachnoid A delicate membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord. It lies between the PIA MATER and the DURA MATER. It is separated from the pia mater by the subarachnoid cavity which is filled with CEREBROSPINAL FLUID. Arachnoid Mater,Arachnoid Maters,Arachnoids
D013346 Subarachnoid Space The space between the arachnoid membrane and PIA MATER, filled with CEREBROSPINAL FLUID. It contains large blood vessels that supply the BRAIN and SPINAL CORD. Space, Subarachnoid,Spaces, Subarachnoid,Subarachnoid Spaces
