Evaluation of CSF Leaks:High-Resolution CT Compared with Contrast-Enhanced CT and Radionuclide Cisternography AJNR 20:706-712, Stone,J.A.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Noncontrast high-resolution CT showed a defect in 70% of the patients with CSF leak. No radionuclide cisternography or CT cisternography study produced positive results without previous visualization of a defect on high-resolution CT. CT ci sternography and radionuclide cisternography may be reserved for patients in whom initial high-resolution CT does not identify a bone defect or for patients with multiple fractures or postoperative defects.
