Abstract

This is the tenth case report of a subarchnoid-pleural fistula. One of the authors (H. T. L.) reported the first case in 1959. This case reconfirms the value of myelography in making the diagnosis and localizing the surgical target. In addition, it demonstrates the usefullness of the Risa-131 scanning techniques for this condition. The use of methyl methacrylate plastic adhesive for closure of such a fistula has not been previously reported.
