  • Title: The value of radionuclide myelography in the evaluation of spinal arachnoiditis.
    Author: Lee KF, Park CH, Schnapf D, Martinez L, Thompson NL, Tatu W.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1978; 16():359-61. PubMed ID: 745714.
    Abstract:
    On the basis of myelographic findings, spinal adhesive arachnoiditis was classified into three types: type I (peripheral or marginal), type II (central), and type III (advanced). Depending on its location and extent, it may be divided into group A (lumbar), group B (thoracic), and group C (cervical). In view of the fact that intrathecal injection both of oily and of water-soluble contrast media tends to produce spinal arachnoiditis, we have been using radionuclides for pre- and postoperative myelography to evaluate arachnoiditis. Radionuclide myelography with 131I-HSA or 111In-DTPA is a safe modality which provides useful information regarding spinal arachnoiditis.
