Who should get CT Scan Cisternography done in Pune?

What can CT Scan Cisternography help detect?

Abnormal results arise from trauma, skull base defects, surgery, tumors, or connective tissue disorders. Family history of spontaneous CSF leaks or connective-tissue problems may make this test more important.
