Abstract
The unusual appearance of the large cisterna magna on computed tomography is presented [in 5 patients] and the radiographic signs are reviewed and correlated. This entity may be confused with a variety of other lesions. Awareness of such developmental anomalies may obviate the need for angiography and pneumoencephalography in selected cases.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
