Abstract

The localization of coccidioidal meningitis in the basilar regions, with resultant hydrocephalus and uniformly fatal outcome, has necessitated intrathecal injection of amphotericin B via cisternal puncture or subcutaneous ventricular reservoir for successful therapy. A simpler form of treatment is described here, whereby amphotericin B diluted in 10 percent glucose solution is injected via lumbar puncture, and delivered to the base of the skull by tilting the patient to a head-down position. A simultaneously performed hyperbaric cisternogram with (131)I-serum albumin has demonstrated satisfactory migration of the injected bolus to the occiput. This method of administration resulted in successful suppressive treatment of one patient, including two years of follow-up without serious sequelae or relapse.

17. Correlation of Liver and Spleen Size: Determinations by Nuclear Medicine Studies and Physical Examination

Author

Halpern, Samuel, Coel, Marc, Ashburn, William, Alazraki, Naomi, Littenberg, Richard, Hurwitz, Sheldon, and Green, Joseph

Abstract

The size of the liver and spleen was determined by scintiphotography in 214 patients and the results correlated with the physical findings concerning these two organs. False-positive interpretations of liver size and false-negative interpretations of spleen size were very common as determined by physical examination. The findings of a palpable spleen by physical examination correlated to a very high degree with anatomical enlargement of that organ.
