Conray ventriculography in the diagnosis of infantile hydrocephalus

Hiroshi Yamada, Masataka Tajima

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

✓ A method for visualizing the third ventricle, aqueduct of Sylvius, and fourth ventricle with methylglucamine iothalamate 60% (Conray) in infantile hydrocephalus is described. Only a small amount of contrast medium is necessary to visualize these structures. This procedure has been performed in 47 infants from 7 days to 3 years of age, and has been proved simple, safe, and valuable in the diagnosis of lesions around the third and fourth ventricles.
