Abstract
Computed tomography was performed on 5 children with posterior fossa cystic abnormalities. On an axial tomogram, an enlarged cisterna magna could not be distinguished from a Dandy-Walker variant, nor could an encysted 4th ventricle be distinguished from a subarachnoid cyst. Supplementary air encephalography of sagittal reconstruction of tomograms is necessary to define posterior fossa cysts accurately.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
