Ventriculography is an X-ray examination of the ventricles of the brain with the introduction of a contrast agent.
Positive ventriculography uses contrast agents that have a high X-ray absorption coefficient. This allows you to obtain a clear image of the ventricular system of the brain, identifying their shape, size and position.
Contrast injected into the ventricles of the brain fills their cavity and makes them visible under fluoroscopy or on x-rays. This method allows you to diagnose ventricular enlargement, brain tumors that disrupt the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, and also assess the state of communications between the ventricles.
Positive ventriculography is widely used in neurology and neurosurgery to diagnose brain pathology. Correct interpretation of its results helps doctors choose adequate treatment tactics for patients.
**Ventriculogram**
Ventriculome is a study of the brain to diagnose various diseases, revealing changes within the ventricles of the brain. Disruption of the normal structure may occur due to an inflammatory process (for example, encephalitis, meningitis), the formation of lesions in the brain (ascites, stroke) or increased intracranial pressure. The main causes of this disease are infectious infections (flu, viral infections), hypoxia, and head injuries. Ventricular cavities often occur after encephalitis. This process is completely asymptomatic and is detected suddenly. But often birth defects are discovered at an early age, when the child has clear signs of brain underdevelopment. U
