[A simple method of cervical myelography by lumbar injection of Omnipaque]

Abstract

The authors report on the experiences with cervical myelography performed in 94 cases in the past years at their Institute. On the basis of the results a simple and reliable procedure easy to perform with the lumbar administration of Omnipaque contrast material in lying position is described and recommended. Examinations performed by cervical puncture are justified only according to the authors' opinion if their method fails to be successful.
