Abstract
The technique of selective third ventricular catheterization and pantopaque ventriculography is described and the author's experience with 17 cases is briefly summarized.This technique has been found to be especially useful in patients suspected of harboring a posterior fossa lesion. Its chief advantages are the speed with which it can be executed and the avoidance of the necessity of manipulating the patient during the procedure (the entire procedure is done with the patient supine), the latter being of especial value in patients who are seriously ill, unable to cooperate or unconscious.The procedure has proved to be safe, although several points of caution are discussed.
