Abstract

Twenty meningomyelocele patients with nonfunctional ventricular shunts or no shunts were studied radiologically. This group was compared to a second group of 4 patients with functional shunts. The various techniques are compared and discussed. Pantopaque ventriculography is a potentially dangerous procedure. Radioisotope ventriculography appears to be a safe and useful method of diagnosing syringohydromyelia. Ventricular decomposition by means of a shunt appears to be an effective treatment.
