Abstract
One hundred cervical and thoracic myelographies were performed with the non-ionic, water-soluble contrast medium metrizamide. Good myelograms were obtained in almost all cases, adverse effects were minor, no serious complications occurred, and no convulsions were seen. Metrizamide is better than gas or isophendylate for demonstrating intraspinal expansive lesions of affections of the root sleeves.
