1918 W. E. Dandy in Ann. Surg. LXVIII. 5 (heading) Ventriculography following the injection of air into the cerebral ventricles.
1947 Radiology 48 59/1 Ventriculography..showed the posterior portions of both lateral ventricles to be dilated and revealed similar enlargement of the temporal horns.
1978 Science 24 Feb. 854/1 Asymmetries in the size of the left and right lateral ventricles [of the brain] can..be demonstrated..by injecting air into the ventricles during pneumoencephalography and ventriculography.

1918 W. E. Dandy in Ann. Surg. LXVIII. 7 Owing to the lighter weight of air, the ventriculogram represents the ventricle farthest from the X-ray plate.
1936 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 28 Mar. 661/2 The usual procedure..was to make a ventriculogram first thing in the morning, and start operating two or three hours later.
1974 C. B. T. Adams in R. M. Kirk et al. Surgery xiv. 273/2 Often, the brain plugs the fracture and a rise of intranasal pressure by nose blowing forces the air into the brain, an aerocele, and, occasionally, into the ventricle, producing a ventriculogram on X-ray.
