  • Title: [How dangerous is lumbosacral myelography with water-soluble contrast media? (author's transl)].
    Author: Krüger J, von Wild K, Hacker H.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1977 Mar 11; 102(10):342-5. PubMed ID: 837832.
    Abstract:
    In the exact diagnosis of space-occupying processes of the lumbosacral spine myelography with water-soluble contrast media is unsurpassed. Neurotoxicity of the water-soluble contrast media is known and feared in many centres. However, after 2500 exclusively in-patient lumbosacral myelographies and after a prospective study of 100 patients we were able to demonstrate that this investigation is only slightly dangerous.
