CECT Cisternography is a specialized CT examination in which contrast is introduced into the cerebrospinal fluid space to detect and precisely localize CSF leaks, particularly those involving the skull base, nose, paranasal sinuses, ear, or mastoid region, supporting accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment planning.

Yes. CT cisternography may help evaluate suspected CSF otorrhea, in which CSF leaks into the middle ear or mastoid region and may subsequently drain through the ear.
One of its important uses is to localize the site of CSF leakage. This information can be particularly helpful when planning surgical or other targeted treatment.
Yes. Inform the team about previous reactions to iodinated contrast, allergies, kidney disease, recent illnesses, medications, and pregnancy or possible pregnancy before the procedure.
CECT Cisternography can provide detailed anatomical information about the skull base and CSF spaces and, importantly, help localize a CSF leak. This can provide useful information for targeted treatment and surgical planning in appropriately selected patients.
