β¦ Synopsis
We measured several F- and averaged F-response variables before and after lumbar myelography with metrizamide and iohexol in order to evaluate possible effects of these contrast agents upon proximal motor nerve conduction and motor neurone exitability. Averaged F-response onset latency increased while both duration and amplitude decreased after iohexol myelography. These changes were interpreted as signs of minor neural depression but they were slight and without clinical significance in the individual patient. F-response variables were not affected after metrizamide myelography.

A prospective, controlled study was performed to compare side effect incidences after lumbar iohexol myelography (n=97) and diagnostic lumbar puncture (n= 85). No significant side effect incidence differences (iohexol vs. controls) were found regarding number of patients with any side effect (63 vs.
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
