“…Radionuclide cisternography is useful for diagnosis of CSF leakage and localization of the leakage site [4][5][6]. In addition to radionuclide cisternography, SPECT/ CT has been used to improve the identification of CSF leakage sites; the latter technique affords better spatial resolution [7][8][9]. In this case, after insertion of the pledgets, the patient was placed in the sitting position, leaning forward.…”

We herein present a case of a 29-year-old man with clear rhinorrhea, which persisted for 8 years following a myringotomy. After cotton pledgets were placed in several different regions of the nasal cavity, cisternography using Tc-99m DTPA was performed to measure the radioactivity of each pledget. Cisternography showed subtle uptake in the nasal cavity. However, intense uptake was detected in the pledget placed in the right eustachian tube orifice, where the pledget:serum count ratio was 10.3:1. The patient underwent duroplasty and cranioplasty, and the rhinorrhea resolved.

“…Radionuclide cisternography is an important imaging modality to detect the site of leakage in patients with CSF rhinorrhea [3][4][5]. The combination of radionuclide cistenography and SPECT/CT has led to a major improvement in the diagnostic accuracy for localization of CSF leakage [6][7][8]. This case also shows an important role for SPECT/CT fusion imaging in radionuclide cisternography not only for localizing the primary CSF fistula tract, but also for evaluating ambiguous radiotracer activities in planar imaging; these ultimately turned out to be aspirated and ingested CSF rhinorrhea.…”

A 58-year-old man with chylothorax after graft replacement of the aortic arch underwent thoracic duct scintigraphy by orally administered 123 I-labeled 15-(4-iodophenyl)-3(R,S)-methylpentadecanoic acid with single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography (SPECT/CT). SPECT/CT fusion image clearly showed the increased uptake near the vascular anastomotic site of the aortic arch. Therefore, a chylothorax due to a traumatic rupture of a thoracic duct was suspected. This report indicates the clinical usefulness of thoracic duct scintigraphy by orally administered 123 I-labeled 15-(4-iodophenyl)-3(R,S)-methylpentadecanoic acid using SPECT/CT for the localization of the lymphatic leakage site in chylothorax.
