Abstract
|
|
|
One hundred fifty five patients who had variety of intracranial lesions wers scanned using Chlormerodrin Mercury 203 (35 cases) and Technetium 99m Pertechnetate from January 1967 to July, 1968 at Tae Qu Presbyteian hospital.
The results were as follow;
1. Traumatic lesion.
We obtained overall accuracy of 80% in localizing epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, and brain contusion.
Technetium 99m´ Pertechnetate proved to be somewhat better agent than Mercury 203 Neohydrin.
2. Cerebrovascular lesion.
Among 17 patients, only 6 had positive scans (five with ss- Tc and one eith "´Hg.)
3. Infectious disease.
Brain scanning may be useful in detection and loclization, of infectious disease as brain abscess, epidural abscess, and tuberculoma.
4. Brain tumor.
Meningioma was most accuracy with brain scanning among the brain tumor. Thirty % of astrocytoma with histological between grade I & Il. Was positive signs.
5. Various C. N. S. lesion.
Radioactive brain scan was of no value in the diagnosis of various C. N. S. lesions as seizure, amyotropic lateral sclreosis,., headache of various orgin, etc:
6. Hydrocephalus.
When 99m Tc was : inserted into the lateral ventricle, we obtained good diagnostic accuracy in patients who was hydrocephalus due to obstruction of aqueduct, aad who was performed ventriculopleural shunting.
