[Neuroradiological investigations in the Arnold-Chiari syndrome. Value of computer tomography and myelography with amipaque (author's transl)].

Abstract

The use of computer tomography and myelography with amipaque is of considerable value for establishing the diagnosis of the Arnold-Chiari syndrome. The cerebral lesion (hydrocephalus) can be clearly demonstrated, together with a hernia of the amygdalae, IVth ventricle abnormalities and the size and contents of any myelomeningocele present.
