Differential diagnosis of fourth ventricle tumors from brain stem tumors in angiography

  • Published:
Neuroradiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

1. Normal arteriographic and venographic anatomic landmarks of the posterior fossa are described. 2. Differential diagnostic features between fourth ventricle tumors and brain stem tumors are described with illustrations of actual cases. 3. If angiographic features are inconclusive, air or positive contrast studies may be performed expeditiously for further elucidation of the specific problem.
