OBJECTIVE: To investigate the communication between @entity145 and subarachnoid space using CT cisternography (CTC) and consecutive CT scans. METHODS: CTC were performed in 38 symptomatic @entity1 with @entity145 before treatment decisions were made. Consecutive CTC images were obtained 2 days after intrathecal omnipaque administrations. The enhancement in cysts was measured quantitatively and compared with neighbouring subarachnoid spaces. @entity1 with cysts showing @entity8658 (n = 10) were followed up without surgeries. Whereas, @entity1 with cysts showing non- @entity8658 (n = 28) were given surgical treatment through craniotomy. Another 36 @entity1 with @entity145 were given craniotomy without CTC evaluation. RESULTS: @entity145 were classified into complete, incomplete and noncommunicating cysts based on the CTC results. The symptoms of all surgical @entity1 with CTC evaluations were relieved. Only one @entity1 without surgery showed clinical deterioration. In the 36 @entity1 without CTC evaluation, 6 @entity1 did not gain benefit from surgeries. CONCLUSION: The classification of @entity145 based on CTC is useful for the diagnosis and treatment of @entity145 .
