✦ Synopsis
Arterial blood pressure and heart rate were recorded for 5 to 7 h during myelography with iothalamate meglumine and metrizamide in 23 rabbits. After 0.6 ml iothalamate meglumine containing 280 mg I/ml a significant decrease in blood pressure and signs of circulatory failure were found. After identical doses of metrizamide and after reduction of the dose of iothalamate meglumine to 0.4 ml containing 140 mg I/ml no significant fall in blood pressure was recorded. A decrease of blood pressure was always accompanied by a decrease of heart rate. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate during experimental myelography are suggested as useful variables in the evaluation and comparison of new contrast media for myelography.

Five patients who developed abducens palsy after myelography with watersoluble contrast media are reported. These palsies can be compared to abducens palsies after spinal anesthesia and diagnostic lumbar puncture. They are most likely due to the lumbar puncture. The arguments for this explanation ar
The adverse effects of cerebral angiography with metrizamide and meglumine metrizoate were compared in 20 patients for each contrast medium using a double blind technic. Deterioration of the EEG and bradycardial reactions were seen more often with meglumine metrizoate than with metrizamide and these
