| Popis: | Cervical myelography by lumbar run-up produces excellent radiologic studies in most cases. Use of this technique avoids the hazards and pitfalls associated with a lateral cervical puncture. We discuss 92 cases, with excellent or good results in 98% and nondiagnostic studies in only 2%. Both of the poor technical studies were followed by computed tomographic myelography to produce diagnostic examinations in all cases. There were no serious complications. |
