Abstract
Selected cases are presented demonstrating evaluation of [human] sellar and juxtasellar pathology with metrizamide cisternography. The compatibility of metrizamide with the current generation of computerized tomography scanners has provided complementary data to metrizamide-enhanced hypocycloidal tomographic studies of the sellar and juxtasellar areas. The ease and low morbidity of metrizamide cisternography relative to pneumography is outlined.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
