Description
MR Cisternography in Chandigarh – CSF Leak & Brain Fluid Imaging in Tricity
MR Cisternography is a specialized MRI scan used to study the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways around the brain and inner ear. Because it uses advanced fluid-sensitive MRI sequences, it allows doctors to detect CSF leaks, skull base defects, and inner ear abnormalities without using radiation.
Patients from Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur, and across the Tricity region rely on MR cisternography for accurate diagnosis of fluid leaks and neurological problems.
What Is MR Cisternography?
This test uses high-resolution MRI to clearly display the CSF-filled spaces of the brain, inner ear, and skull base. Therefore, it helps doctors identify the exact site of CSF leakage or abnormal fluid collection.
Why Doctors Recommend MR Cisternography
This scan is commonly advised when patients have:
- Clear fluid leaking from the nose or ear
- Suspected CSF rhinorrhea or otorrhea
- Recurrent meningitis
- Inner ear or skull base defects
- Unexplained headaches related to CSF pressure
How the MR Cisternography Scan Is Performed
You will lie comfortably inside the MRI scanner while special fluid-sensitive images of the brain and inner ear are taken. Meanwhile, these sequences highlight CSF spaces, and consequently doctors can see even tiny leaks or abnormalities.
The scan is painless and usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.
