CT-myelosysternoraphy is a method that combines the possibilities of CT and myelography. Refers to invasive methods of imaging, because it requires the introduction of a sub-abdominal space contrast medium. Unlike myelography, less (usually 2 times) the amount of contrast medium is needed. The method is used in stationary conditions to determine the permeability of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal cord and brain, in occlusive processes and in various types of nasal liquorrhea (to determine the site of damage to the integrity of the subsatellite spaces of the brain), and in the diagnosis of cystic processes of intracranial localization.
