- Title
Metrizamide epidurography.
- Authors
Hamilton, Gordon
- Abstract
The results are reported of lumbar epidurography in 110 patients suffering from low back pain. By using the water-soluble non-ionic contrast metrizamide, it has been possible to perform the examination on an outpatient basis. None of the patients has suffered from headache, nor any other complaint often associated with other diagnostic techniques which involve lumbar puncture. Epidurography is sufficiently accurate to be regarded as the examination of choice in the diagnosis of lumbar disc prolapse.
