Abstract
|
|
|
All the patients in this investigation had symptoms suggestive of prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc disease and had been evaluated neurologically prior to there referal.
The use of Myelotrast in the radiological investigation of 86 patients with symptoms of low backache and sciatica at the National Medical Center is described.
The radiological quality of films obtained was good and the results correlated well with the surgical findings.
We have found this contrast medium to be outstanding in the evaluation of the lower thecal space and a definite advance in the ´ radiographic evaluation of the cauda equina nerve roots and sheaths.
Myelotrast is suitable for use in lumbar myelography, but partly because of the possibility of using larger doses, calculated as grams of iodine, and partly because of immediate locally irritant effect, which render spinal anesthesia necessary.
