RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Filling patterns in contrast ventriculography JF Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry JO J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP 449 OP 454 DO 10.1136/jnnp.37.4.449 VO 37 IS 4 A1 Lawrence Ferguson YR 1974 UL http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/37/4/449.abstract AB The filling patterns of a negative contrast material (air), a positive contrast water soluble material (Conray), and a positive contrast water insoluble material (Myodil) were examined in 60 normal ventriculograms. Using a scoring system developed for this study, Conray was found effective for outlining the ipsilateral (injected) lateral ventricle, the third ventricle, the aqueduct of Sylvius, and the fourth ventricle. Air was the most effective for the noninjected lateral ventricle, while Myodil was best for A-P demonstration of the aqueduct. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
