Possibilities and limits of computed tomography and angiography in diagnosis of cerebral vascular malformations.

CT findings in 18 patients with cerebral vascular malformations are presented. The following findings were established: 9 angiomas, 4 spontaneous intracerebral haematomas after angioma rupture, 3 aneurysms, 1 aneurysm of vena magna Galeni and 1 megasinus. Contrast medium was administered during every CT screening.

[Current diagnosis and treatment of intracerebral abscess].

Experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of an intracerebral abscess with the aid of computed tomography of the brain (superior to all past diagnostic procedures) have been presented; 28 patients were elaborated and some of them more extensively described, especially those of particular interest due to the abscess' localization and its differential diagnosis.

Comparative study of computed tomography and ventriculography with water-soluble contrast media.

From material of over 10,000 CTs a comparative study of computed tomography and ventriculography with contrast media was carried out. We examined 18 patients with suspected expansive lesions localized in the 3rd ventricle, aqueduct of Sylvius, and 4th ventricle. We have found that CT is the method of choice in these cases and that ventriculography should be reserved for those cases which have clear clinical indications.
