This axial CT image after a cisternogram shows a small tumor,(acoustic schwannoma),being outlined by contrast in the left cerebello-pontine angle,(on your right),extending out from the left internal auditory canal. Cisternograms are performed by instilling positive contrast into the lumbar subarachnoid space after a lumbar puncture,(spinal tap). The patient is then placed head down so that the positive contrast will run into the subarachnoid space intracranially | |
