Aberrant cerebrospinal fluid pathway. Detection by scintigraphy.

S M Gupta, J Frias, A Garg

    Clinical Nuclear Medicine
    |August 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Radionuclide cisternography diagnosed an iatrogenic spinopleural fistula. This rare condition involved a large cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection in the pleural cavity after spinal surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Radionuclide cisternography assesses cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways and hydrodynamics.
    • It is a standard diagnostic tool in neurology and neurosurgery.

    Observation:

    • An unusual case involving a female patient is presented.
    • The patient had undergone surgical resection of a vertebra for a malignant tumor.

    Findings:

    • Cisternography revealed an iatrogenic spinopleural fistula.
    • A significant collection of CSF was identified within the pleural cavity.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the diagnostic utility of radionuclide cisternography in rare post-surgical complications.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering fistulas in unexplained CSF collections.
