Cisternography and CT Scanning with 111In-DTPA in Evaluation of Posterior Fossa Arachnoid Cysts

A patient with a large, long-standing posterior fossa arachnoid cyst was evaluated. Computed tomography was used to demonstrate the cyst. In-DTPA cisternography demonstrated the communication of the cyst with the subarachnoid space, stasis of the In in the cystic space, and incomplete ascent of cere...

Zusammenfassung:	A patient with a large, long-standing posterior fossa arachnoid cyst was evaluated. Computed tomography was used to demonstrate the cyst. In-DTPA cisternography demonstrated the communication of the cyst with the subarachnoid space, stasis of the In in the cystic space, and incomplete ascent of cerebrospinal fluid over the cerebral hemispheres.
