Surgical management of giant pituitary tumours--a review of 30 cases.

abstract：:Quantitative isotope ventriculography (QIV) has been suggested as a method for diagnosing hydrocephalus and predicting the results of CSF shunt insertion. However, the physiological significance of this and other tracer clearance studies is questionable. Using a simplified mathematical model for tracer clearance follo...
