Metrizamide in venography
نویسنده
چکیده
in psychopathology, which worsened after a three-day washout period and became similar to that seen before metoclopramide treatment. The patient was then treated with the classical neuroleptic haloperidol. At a dose of 45 mg/day the same extrapyramidal syndrome re-emerged and was completely responsive to trihexyphenidyl 2 mg by mouth three times daily. After haloperidol dosage was increased to 100 mg'day the tremor emerged in a milder form. Psychopathology at this dosage was partially improved, but some disorganisation of thought, delusions, and hallucinations persisted. His state at this time (10th day of haloperidol treatment) was comparable to that noted after metoclopramide 1 g/day.

Metrizamide myelography for disk disease: continuing need for epidural venography.
Metrizamide is largely replacing iophendylate (Pantopaque) for routine lumbar myelography. Better visualization of the nerve root sheaths should make metrizamide myelography more sensitive in detecting laterally herniated disks, such that epidural venography might be required less often. However, that expectation has not been realized. In over 800 consecutive myelograms, one-half obtained with ...
متن کاملDiscrepancy between metrizamide CT and myelography in diagnosis of cervical disk protrusions.
With the advent of the relatively safe water-soluble contrast medium metrizamide, cervical myelography followed by metrizamide computed tomography (CT) can be performed easily. Sixteen patients with cervical disk protrusions (eight central and eight posterolateral) were studied by both procedures to evaluate the diagnostic value of each. In 75% of the posterolateral disk protrusions, myelograph...
متن کاملCT of Extraarachnoid Metrizamide Instillation 689
Because CT of spinal extraarachnoid metrizamide collections may be misleading, we reviewed the postmetrizamide CT scans of 425 patients in order to characterize the appearance of subdural or epidural metrizamide. Eight patients were found to have extraarachnoid metrizamide contrast collections. In all patients, both the subarachnoid space and the extraarachnoid collection were opacified with me...
متن کاملClinical comparison of metrizamide and iopamidol for myelography.
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 کاملTransient motor aphasia following metrizamide myelography.
Metrizamide, a water-soluble iodinated contrast agent for myelography, has been widely used in the United States for more than 4 years . Although acute generalized encephalopathy with confusion has been recog nized as a complication of metrizamide myelography, aphasia, with the connotation of focality that it entails, has seldom been reported [1, 2]. We describe two patients with a transient mo...
