Ketamine/diazepam solution was used as the only anaesthetic in 105 patients selected for neuroradiological examinations. A rapid intravenous injection, 1 ml/kg bodyweight, followed by continuous drip infusion constituted the method used. No important side effects were seen, except psychotomimetic reactions in two cases. Cardiovascular disturbances were absent and no significant intracranial pressure rise occurred in nine patients examined.
