چکیده
A case report of transverse myelitis and optic neuritis is presented in which the latter occurred following a myelogram with iopamidol. The literature relating to neurotoxicity of contrast agents is reviewed, and it is suggested that the optic neuritis may have been a neurotoxic effect

Comparison between Iodixanol and Iohexol for Cervical Myelography in Cat
Objective- To evaluate and compare the radiographic efficacy and safety of a non-ionic dimeric and isotonic iodinated contrast medium, iodixanol (320 mgI/ml) and a non-ionic monomer and hypertonic contrast medium, iohexol (300 mgI/ml) in feline cervical myelography. Design- Experimental study Animals- Five adult healthy cats. Procedures- Iodixanol and iohexol were injected into the cerebello...
متن کاملArachnoiditis from myelography and laminectomy in experimental animals.
Clinical reports have suggested that myelography and laminectomy may produce more arachnoiditis than myelography alone. The effect of experimental lumbar myelography and laminectomy on arachnoiditis in monkeys was studied. Arachnoiditis was as severe after myelography alone as after myelography and laminectomy. Minimal arachnoiditis was found myelographically and histologically after myelograph...
متن کاملThree-dimensional MR myelography of traumatic injuries of the brachial plexus.
PURPOSE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional MR myelography in the evaluation of traumatic injuries of the brachial plexus. METHODS Twenty patients with clinical and electromyographic evidence of traumatic brachial plexopathy were examined with three-dimensional MR myelography, conventional cervical myelography, and CT myelography 1 to 9 months after trauma. Three-dimensi...
متن کاملMR myelography for identification of spinal CSF leak in spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT myelography has historically been the test of choice for localization of CSF fistula in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. This study evaluates the additional benefits of intrathecal gadolinium MR myelography in the detection of CSF leak. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review of patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension w...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance myelography in brachial plexus injury.
We used magnetic resonance (MR) myelography in ten patients with injuries to the brachial plexus and compared the findings with those obtained by conventional myelography and postmyelographic CT (CTM). In the presence of complete nerve-root avulsion (seven cases), a post-traumatic meningocele was detected by MR myelography. In injuries to the upper roots (three cases) MR myelography showed abno...
