Neuroradiol.1988 Jan 01; 9 AB - Hydrocephalus communicating with the basilar subarachnoid cisterns may manifest itself as enlargement of these spaces.

A series of eight patients points out the CT characteristics, the differential diagnosis, and the importance of the cisternal ventricle in the transmission of CSF.
