In 1918, he successfully used air for ventriculography in a series of twenty cases, and in 1919, he obtained satisfactory visualization by lumbar injection.² Two years later, Wideroe³ and Bingel⁴ independently used lumbar injection to demonstrate the obstruction caused by tumors of the spinal cord. They also found these studies valuable in visualizing the ventricles, basal cisterns and subarachnoid cortical spaces.

During subsequent years, encephalography was further substantiated by its correlation with findings at operation and autopsy (Kruse⁵), by the recognition of its dangers and complications (Koschewnikow⁶ and Grant⁷), by its revelation of a vast museum of pathologico-anatomic conditions in the living . . .
