pubmed:abstractText
Radioisotope ventriculography was applied clinically in myelodysplastic hydromyelia in three groups of patients: two patients with normal ventricles, two with obstructive hydrocephalus, and 16 with myelodysplasia. In the myelodysplastic group, radioassay in one patient demonstrated flow of radioistope down the hydromyelic cavity. Twenty scintigraphic studies on 16 myelodysplastic patients showed hydromyelia was present in all patients with spontaneously compensated hydrocephalus but in none of those with functional ventricular shunts. This relation between the hydromyelia and disordered ventricular hydrodynamics supports the Gardner hypothesis of myelodysplasia. Radioisotope ventriculography appears a safe and useful method of diagnosing hydrosyringomyelia and evaluating treatment by means of ventricular decompression.
