Abstract

Several cases are presented which illustrate the indications and results of a relatively new procedure of intrathecal injection of radioiodinated human seruin albumin I 131 to demonstrate cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. This procedure has been used in conjunction with pneumoencephalography in the diagnosis of communicating hydrocephalus. A proper dose as well as adequate volume are necessary to obtain diagnostic scans.
