Abstract

Neurological examination was the only means for detecting and localizing brain tumors until well into the twentieth century. Neuroradiologi-cal diagnosis was introduced by Dandy in 1918, when he injected air into the ventricles by direct puncture of a fontanelle or through a burrhole. In 1919, he also reported demonstration of the ventricular system after introducing air by lumbar puncture.
