Iohexol versus metrizamide for lumbar myelography: double-blind trial.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lumbar myelography was performed in 50 patients; 25 received iohexol (an investigational aqueous contrast agent) and 25 received metrizamide. The two media produced radiographs of equal quality. However, iohexol is stable in solution, while metrizamide is not. Further, markedly less morbidity resulted from iohexol. These features indicate that iohexol may be superior to metrizamide as a contrast agent for lumbar myelography.

Cervical myelography was performed by lateral C1-C2 puncture in 60 patients. Thirty patients received iohexol (an investigational aqueous contrast agent) and 30 received metrizamide in order to provide a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial comparing these contrast media. The two media produced radiographs of equal quality. Contrast-related morbidity was suffered by four patients (13%) i...

The side effects of iohexol were evaluated in the 300 patients who had nonemergency myelography over a 9 month period. No patients studied with myelography were excluded from the iohexol trial. Age range was 14-86 years. Introduction was by lumbar puncture in 206 patients and by lateral C1-C2 injection in 94. Side effects, including discomfort, were denied by 81.3% of the patients. The other 18...
متن کاملIohexol vs. metrizamide: study of efficacy and morbidity in cervical myelography.
A double-blind study was conducted in 60 patients undergoing either cervical or more complete myelography via C1-C2 puncture. Patients received either iohexol or metrizamide at a 300 mg l/ml concentration. The contrast media were equally efficacious in the production of high-quality radiographs and CT scans. However, the incidence of adverse reactions differed markedly. Of patients receiving me...
