Description
Contrast MR Cisternography in Chandigarh – High-Resolution CSF Leak & Brain Imaging in Tricity
Contrast MR Cisternography is a specialized MRI scan used to visualize the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces around the brain and spinal cord. Because a contrast agent is used, even tiny CSF leaks, fistulas, and abnormalities of the skull base become clearly visible, and therefore doctors can accurately locate the source of fluid leakage or neurological defects.
Patients from Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur, and across the Tricity region rely on this advanced scan for precise diagnosis of CSF-related disorders.
What Is Contrast MR Cisternography?
This test uses high-resolution MRI along with contrast enhancement to map the CSF pathways, brain cisterns, inner ear structures, and skull base. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in detecting CSF leaks, encephaloceles, inner ear fistulas, and congenital abnormalities.
Why Doctors Recommend Contrast MR Cisternography
This scan is commonly advised when patients have:
- Clear fluid leaking from nose or ear
- Suspected CSF rhinorrhea or otorrhea
- Recurrent meningitis
- Inner ear or skull base defects
- Unexplained headaches related to CSF pressure
How the Scan Is Performed
A contrast agent is administered, and then high-resolution MRI images are taken of the brain and CSF spaces. Meanwhile, specialized sequences highlight fluid pathways and leak points, and consequently doctors receive precise anatomical detail.
The scan is painless and usually takes 40 to 60 minutes.
