Metrizamide ventriculography and computed tomography in lesions about the third ventricle. 1978

R D Strand, and R A Baker, and I J Ordia, and T J Arkins

Metrizamide ventriculography was used in 24 patients with suspected lesions in and near the third ventricle. The diagnoses were aqueduct stenosis (6), upper brain stem expansions (5), third ventricular tumors (6), craniopharyngiomas (2), subarachnoid cyst (1) and normal (1). Computed tomography was used as the guide to predict the likely causes of obstruction and to determine if ventricular shunting was appropriate before or after ventriculography. Several cases required pneumoencephalography in combination with ventriculography in order to determine whether an upper brain stem lesion was intrinsic or extrinsic.

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
D002551 Cerebral Ventricle Neoplasms Neoplasms located in the brain ventricles, including the two lateral, the third, and the fourth ventricle. Ventricular tumors may be primary (e.g., CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS and GLIOMA, SUBEPENDYMAL), metastasize from distant organs, or occur as extensions of locally invasive tumors from adjacent brain structures.
