✦ Synopsis

The C1-C2 lateral spinal puncture for metrizamide injection is compared to decubitus lumbar puncture for cervical myelography. By lumbar route, the contrast medium was taken into the cervical region with the patient prone. The instances when the lumbar route could not be used include cervical spinal trauma, spinal deformity, and lumbar epidural infection. Routine metrizamide cervical myelography by the C1-C2 route has better film quality and probably fewer short-term adverse reactions than use of the lumbar route of injection.

We report a case of aphasia and right hemiplegia, developing after myelography with metrizamide and lasting for an unusually long time. The neurological disorders, manifested 1 h after the examination was completed, were due to accidental passage of contrast medium into the basal cisterns. In the li

A randomized double blind study with iohexol (Omnipaque) and metrizamide (Amipaque) in cervical myelography was performed in 50 patients, 29 with iohexol and 21 with metrizamide. The myelographies were performed either with lumbar or with C1-C2 puncture in about equal groups, using 300 mg I/ml and 2
