Abstract

An open study with iohexol (Omnipaque) in cervical myelography has been performed in 20 patients to evaluate the properties and neurotoxicity of this new water soluble contrast medium. The image quality was good (30%) or excellent (70%) in all cases. The frequency of headache was 25%. No EEG changes were severe and the total frequency was 20%. We conclude that this study supports other reports of iohexol having a low neurotoxicity and is well suited for intrathecal use.
