Abstract

We compared intrathecal metrizamide-enhanced CT (metrizamide-CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of 17 patients with clinical suspicion of lesions at the cervicomedullary junction. MRI was superior in imaging the position of the cerebellar tonsils and the size and extent of mass lesions. MRI and metrizamide-CT were equal in detecting syringomyelia. CT with and without IV contrast enhancement was necessary to detect calcium or defects in the blood-brain barrier within neoplasms.
