Abstract:
In lumbar myelography many side effects occurs in about half the patients examined with modern contrast media. We used amipaque, water soluble contrast media for lumbar myelography in 14 patients with herniated lumbar disc. At myelography with amipaque the side effects are usually minor and serious adverse reactions are rare. Amipaque is of greatest advantage in examination of small structures such as roots, root pockets and blood vessels in spinal subarachnoid space.
