Abstract
Radionuclide myeloscintigraphy was previously used to demonstrate subarachnoid fistulae. One particular 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.
