The Incidence of Side Effect Following Myelography

We reviewed 644 patients who had been examined by myelography retrospectively. The incidence of side effect was lower with iotrolan and iohexol than with metrizamide. But confusion, tremor or convulsion occurred in 3 of 189 patients examined with iotrolan, all being investigated for cervical region by lumbar puncture.We concluded that iotrolan and iohexol were safe agents for myelography.
