Title: A technique for early Pantopaque myelography in cervical spinal cord injuries. Author: Sypert GW, Mozingo JR. Journal: Surg Neurol; 1976 Oct; 6(4):221-2. PubMed ID: 968721. Abstract: A simple, reliable method for early Pantopaque myelography in patients with traumatic injuries of the cervical spinal cord is presented. Myelography is accomplished with the patient prone on a Stryker frame after vertebral reduction and alignment have been achieved with axial skeletal traction. A lateral C1-2 spinal puncture and a portable ""C-arm'' image intensifier with televised fluoroscopy are used. There have been no complications and no occurrences of vertebral re-dislocation with this technique.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
