Summary
Greater diagnostic accuracy of lesions of the third and fourth ventricles and aqueduct has resulted from the use of positive contrast ventriculography with the watersoluble medium Amipaque. The examination is performed more easily than with gas ventriculography and has caused no distress or complication in 47 patients.
