Lateral intrathoracic meningocele with spontaneous rupture into the pleural cavity diagnosed with RIHSA myelography
Tóm tắt
A patient with a lateral intrathoracic meningocele was examined with radioisotope myelography after lumbar intrathecal injection of RIHSA. The diagnosis of a meningocele could be established from the passage of RIHSA into the lesion. The meningocele had ruptured spontaneously into the pleural cavity, as evidenced by RIHSA appearing in the pleural fluid. The activity was recorded by scintigraphy and by direct measurement of samples of pleural fluid. The value of radioisotope myelography in diagnosis and differential diagnosis is emphasised.
