Detection of bronchopleural-subarachnoid fistula by radionuclide myelography: case report. 1977

K R Hofstetter, and J C Bjelland, and D D Patton, and J M Woolfenden, and R E Henry

Radionuclide myeloscintigraphy has previously been used to demonstrate subarachnoid fistulae. In the present case a patient with bronchogenic carcinoma developed spontaneous pneumocephalus postoperatively. Chest radiographs showed an air-fluid level in the postoperative area. Various diagnostic tests were used, but only a radionuclide myeloscintigram showed the presence of a bronchopleural-subarachnoid fistula.
