This research aims to correlate isotope cisternography results with traditional neuroradiological findings in patients with hydrocephalus.
Analyzed data from 130 patients with dementia or significant ventricular dilatation.
Assessed the relationship between positive cisternograms and diagnostic neuroradiological results.
Examined the impact of subarachnoid block duration on prognosis.
All patients with positive cisternograms exhibited either diagnostic or consistent results with obstructive hydrocephalus.
Prolonged subarachnoid block duration correlated with less favorable prognoses.
Low-pressure shunt valves were recommended for improved surgical outcomes.
