Abstract
✓ Selected cases are presented demonstrating evaluation of sellar and juxtasellar pathology with metrizamide cisternography. The compatibility of metrizamide with the current generation of computerized tomography scanners has provided complementary data to metrizamide-enhanced hypocycloidal tomographic studies of the sellar and juxtasellar areas. The ease and low morbidity of metrizamide cisternography relative to pneumography is outlined.Keywords
