Cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea: localization of dural fistulae using metrizamide, hypocycloidal tomography and computed tomography. 1979

G J Dohrmann, and N J Patronas, and E E Duda, and S Mullan

Demonstration of the exact site of the dural fistulae in cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is difficult. This paper presents a technique for accurate localization of these fistulae, using metrizamide cisternography combined with both hypocycloidal tomography and computed tomography.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
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
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.
