cisternography

An obsolescent imaging technique used to investigate pituitary gland tumours. An X-ray contrast medium is injected into the cerebrospinal fluid by passing a needle in between the upper bone of the spine and the under side of the skull.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension
Various methods are used for diagnosis such as brain MRI, MR or CT myelography, and radionuclide cisternography. MRI findings are subdural fluid collections, pachymeningeal enhancement, sagging of the brain structures, and engorgement of venous structures (1).

Recurrent CSF Rhinorrhea Misdiagnosed as Chronic Allergic Rhinitis with Subsequent Development of Bacterial Meningitis
MR cisternography including FIESTA is useful in evaluations of the cystic wall because of the higher contrast-to-noise ratio and brain tissue/CSF contrast [11] but lacks contrast between soft tissues and even between soft tissues and bone [11].
