| Abstract: | Summary The radiological manifestations of 16 pituitary adenomas, six meningiomas and 14 craniopharyngiomas were reviewed. The differential diagnosis of these tumors is possible with a few exceptions when skull radiography, CT, angiography and metrizamide cisternography are carefully evaluated. Prolonged injection angiography (PIA) is particularly important for demonstrating the contours of pituitary adenomas and meningiomas. Metrizamide cisternography is indicated when the tumor contours are obscure using PIA, or when the differential diagnosis is uncertain. |
