Disease relevance of Pneumoencephalography

• He had a normal lumbar CSF pressure, hydrocephalus with lack of air over the convexities on pneumoencephalography, and ventricular filling with prolonged retention on cisternography [1].

High impact information on Pneumoencephalography

• For more precise definition of suprasellar extension of the mass, metrizamide CT cisternography or tomographic pneumoencephalography with metrizamide provided similar details, although CT cisternography was much more easily done [2].
• Each of the brain imaging techniques in common clinical use (skull radiography, midline ultrasonography, isotope scan, pneumoencephalography, angiography and computerized tomography) depicts some structural or functional characteristic of the brain [3].
• During pneumoencephalography in 6 patients, no significant elevation of blood melatonin levels was observed, whereas cortisol concentration increased [4].
• Using pneumoencephalography and computerized axial tomography (EMI scanning) Polaroid pictures, the relationship between ventricular size and cerebral size was investigated in 35 patients [5].
• Dandy-Walker syndrome studied by computed tomography and pneumoencephalography [6].

Biological context of Pneumoencephalography

• Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure was studied in 8 patients and 5 dogs during pneumoencephalography (PEG) or ventriculography in which either O2 or N2O was used as the contrast gas prior to and during N2O inhalation [7].
• The results of surgery were related to the findings of the different diagnostic examinations (pneumoencephalography, isotope cisternography, transfer fron CSF to blood of isotope labelled serum albumin, constant infusion manometric test, long lasting intraventricular pressure recording) [8].

Anatomical context of Pneumoencephalography

• Tryptophan, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and indoleacetic acid were measured in cerebrospinal fluid, taken during pneumoencephalography, from a large series of patients, the majority of whom were epileptics, most of them receiving anticonvulsants [9].

Associations of Pneumoencephalography with chemical compounds

• There was no difference in cAMP concentration in lumbar CSF obtained before or after injection of air or after the administration of diazepam during lumbar pneumoencephalography [10].
• Ketamine did not provide adequate anaesthesia for pneumoencephalography in a 10-week-old child with agenesis of the corpus collosum [11].
• Melatonin was given orally to patients undergoing diagnostic pneumoencephalography and various compounds were measured in the lumbar and cisternal CSF [12].
• Carbon-respiratory changes associated with changes in posture and injection of intrathecal oxygen were studied in fifeen patients undergoing pneumoencephalography in a Phillips isocentric chair, while breathing spontaneously and anaesthetised with halothane in oxygen [13].
• DDAVP, a synthetic analogue of vasopressin, in prevention of headache after lumbar puncture and lumbar pneumoencephalography [14].

Gene context of Pneumoencephalography

• Prolactin dynamic was investigated in 43 premenopausal patients with primary empty sella (PES) diagnosed by pneumoencephalography and CT scan [15].
• The effect of tiapride on HVA and 5-HIAA levels in the CSF drawn at pneumoencephalography (PEG) was studied [16].
• A statistical comparison with 105 pneumoencephalographies without a cavum veli interpositi does not shown any correlation between the presence of this cistern and pathological conditions [17].
• Evidence from RI cisternography, pneumoencephalography and cerebral angiography indicated that perinatal or neonatal brain damage responsible for epilepsy might be organic in nature [18].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Pneumoencephalography

• Ketamine was given together with premedication (droperidol + pethidine + atropine) for general anaesthesia in 36 children during pneumoencephalography [19].
