  • Title: Cervical myelography by lateral cervical and lumbar injection of metrizamide. A comparison.
    Author: Sortland O, Skalpe IO.
    Journal: Acta Radiol Suppl; 1977; 355():154-63. PubMed ID: 299664.
    Abstract:
    Two methods of cervical myelography, C1-C2 and lumbar injection of the contrast medium, respectively, were carried out in 2 series of patients. The C1-C2 injection resulted in films of higher quality than the lumbar injection but is probably more risky. It was unsuccessful in approximately 5 per cent of the patients. If only patients suited for the lumbar approach are examined with lumbar injection and the others with C1-C2 injection, films of high quality are obtained in almost all patients and a low frequency of adverse effects is encountered.
