BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Various MR techniques have been used to assess CSF
flow and to image the subarachnoid spaces and ventricles. Anecdotal reports describe the …

The MRI findings in a 6-year-old boy with an astrocytoma of the mesancephalon are
reported. A ventriculocisternostomy had been performed in order to reduce the …

Ventricular CSF signal-intensity characteristics indicative of flowing CSF on MR images
(CSF flow void) were analyzed in 20 patients who underwent a CT-based stereotactic third …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Two-dimensional phase-contrast (PC) MR imaging is a
known method for evaluating CSF flow after third ventriculostomy. In this study, we attempted …

A bstract Endoscopic percutaneous ventriculostomy (EPV) is a new technique to restore the
flow of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tothe basal cistern in patientswith non-communicating …

We report two paediatric cases in which a non communicating hydrocephalus was treated
by neuro-endoscopic third ventriculostomy. Subsequently, patency of the septostomy defect …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The evaluation of a suspected malfunction of a
ventricular shunt is a common procedure in neurosurgery. The evaluation relies on either …

To determine ventriculoperitoneal shunt patency during routine MR imaging of the head, 23
patients were studied with T1-weighted fast-field-echo scans. Without knowledge of the …

Objective: Endoscopic procedures may represent an alternative to microsurgery or shunt
operations in intra-or paraventricular pathologies. However, the operative results mainly …

We determined the feasibility and value of studying intracranial CSF flow in children with
potential CSF pathway problems using a cardiac gated cine magnetic resonance (MR) …
