Accurate definition of the site of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is essential for the successful surgical management of CSF rhinorrhoea and associated recurrent meningitis. Previous attempts to image the sites of leakage, including conventional computed tomography (CT) and cisternography using either iodine-containing contrast media or radionuclides, have given disappointing results. A dedicated high-resolution computed tomographic (CT) technique combining fine slices in two planes with a bone algorithm for data manipulation is described and the results in 15 consecutive patients are recorded. This technique promises to render all other diagnostic methods obsolete.
准确界定脑脊液漏出部位对于成功手术治疗脑脊液鼻漏及相关复发性脑膜炎至关重要。以往尝试对漏出部位进行成像，包括使用含碘造影剂或放射性核素的传统计算机断层扫描（CT）及脑池造影，结果均不尽人意。本文描述了一种专门的高分辨率计算机断层扫描（CT）技术，该技术结合了两个平面的薄层扫描及用于数据处理的骨算法，并记录了连续15例患者的结果。这项技术有望使所有其他诊断方法过时。
