Clinical experience with iopamidol for myelography.
Within 20 months 145 ascending thoracocervical myelographies and 155 lumbar myelographies with the nonionic water-soluble contrast medium iopamidol were performed. The iodine concentration given was 250 mg I/ml or 200 mg I/ml respectively. The total iodine never exceeded 2.5 g (8-10 ml).

متن کاملIopamidol vs. metrizamide myelography: clinical comparison of side effects.

All patients were observed for a follow-up period of at least 4 days. The most frequently observed side effect, headache, was more common, of longer duration, and more severe with the use of metrizamid...

A double-blind parallel comparison of iopamidol and metrizamide for myelography was performed in 36 patients. Sixteen adverse reactions were noted in 10 patients who received metrizamide. Six adverse reactions were reported in five patients who received iopamidol. There was no appreciable difference in the radiographic opacification.
متن کاملStatus epilepticus and seizures induced by iopamidol myelography
PURPOSE To report that iopamidol myelography can induce status epilepticus (SE) in patients carrying the diagnosis of symptomatic epilepsy and to estimate the incidence of seizures in patients undergoing iopamidol myelography. METHODS We retrospectively identified all patients with seizures/SE associated with 1350 iopamidol myelographies during the last 5 years at our institution. The impact ...
