Computed tomography in hydrocephalus

C R Fitz, D C Harwood-Nash

    The Journal of Computed Tomography
    |June 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Computed tomography (CT) significantly improved hydrocephalus diagnosis and management. CT aids in identifying causes and complications, though differentiating some conditions remains challenging.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Hydrocephalus diagnosis traditionally relied on various methods.
    • Distinguishing certain conditions like atrophy, hygromas, and mild hydrocephalus was challenging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of computed tomography (CT) on hydrocephalus investigation.
    • To assess CT's role in diagnosing hydrocephalus types, causes, and treatment complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized computed tomography (CT) imaging.
    • Combined CT with ventriculography and radionuclide CSF flow studies where applicable.

    Main Results:

    • CT, alone or combined, usually allows diagnosis of hydrocephalus types and causes.

  • CT visualizes treatment complications like subdural hematoma, shunt blocks, and ventricular isolation.
  • Differentiation of atrophy with large ventricles, subdural hygromas, and mild hydrocephalus remains a challenge.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography has revolutionized hydrocephalus investigation.
    • CT is invaluable for diagnosing hydrocephalus and its treatment-related complications.
