Computerized tomography is usually adequate to explore supratentorial lesions of the skull and brain. However, it is often inadequate for a detailed analysis of lesions of the base of the skull and their anatomical rapports. Opacification of the subarachnoid spaces by means of a contrast medium (computerized cisternography) has proved extremely useful in such cases. The contrast media utilized are tri-iodized, water-soluble compounds which are well tolerated. The technique and anatomical data of the method are described, and its applications in different fields of tumoral and non-tumoral pathology are discussed.
