โœฆ Synopsis


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. 73%), headache (44 vs. 54%), nausea, dizziness, visual, auditory, or psychic symptoms. Early-onset headache occurred significantly more often in the iohexol group (17 vs 5%), while postural headache occurred most frequently after lumbar puncture (25 vs. 41%). These results suggest that apart from the slight early-onset headache, most side effects after lumbar iohexol myelography are related to the puncture per se, not to the contrast agent.

Lumbar myelography was carried out with the contrast media Amipaque, Dimer X and Myelografin in 10 patients each. Five of the patients treated with each contrast medium were kept in a sitting position after the examination, the others lay fiat. Blood levels and excretion were measured up to 24 h. Th
