BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Recently, the performance of C1–2 punctures for cervical
myelography was challenged in a medicolegal proceeding as being below the standard of …

Cervical myelography may be performed with non-ionic contrast media either by direct
cervical puncture or by lumbar puncture with run-up of the contrast medium. In this …

A C1‐2 puncture for injection of myelographic contrast, CSF collection, or administration of
intrathecal chemotherapy is much less frequently used now than in the past. This is partially …

The lateral cervical, or C1-C2, puncture technique is reviewed after 5 years of experience in
which more than 1,000 cervical myelographies were performed by this approach. The safety …

A total of 68 major complications of cervical myelography were reported by 220
neuroradiologists in a mail survey. Two-thirds of the complications were attributed to cervical …

OBJECTIVE. Lateral C1–C2 puncture can be used for CSF collection, contrast agent
injection for myelography, and access for cordotomy. The objective of this article is to …

This study reviewed the technical complication of 112 cases of lateral C1-2 puncture
myelography for cervical spinal cord disorders. Spinal cord puncture and contrast injection …

Three significantly different lateral approaches to the cervical subarachnoid space (anterior,
midplane, and posterior needle positions) have been previously described for cordotomy …

C1-C2 puncture is a procedure commonly performed to assure satisfactory cervical
myelography. Cord injury with neurological deficit has been reported following …

Despite recent trends toward evaluation of back and neck pain with magnetic resonance
imaging, myelography and postmyelography computed tomography continue to play an …
