  • Title: Iohexol myelography in the horse.
    Author: Burbidge HM, Kannegieter N, Dickson LR, Goulden BE, Badcoe L.
    Journal: Equine Vet J; 1989 Sep; 21(5):347-50. PubMed ID: 2776720.
    Abstract:
    Iohexol, a water soluble non-ionic contrast agent, was evaluated for myelography in the horse. Both 300 and 350 mg iodine/ml iohexol gave diagnostic cervical myelograms. Pathological changes were limited to extradural oedema and an increase in the number of white blood cells and specific gravity in the cerebrospinal fluid two days after myelography. This increase in white blood cells in the cerebrospinal fluid was, however, much less than that recorded by other authors using metrizamide and iopamidol contrast media. These findings indicate that iohexol is a less irritant myelographic contrast agent than those previously evaluated in the horse.
