Abstract:
OBJECTIVE. Myelography is a commonly used procedure to evaluate the spinal canal. However, the procedure is not without risk, chiefly risk of seizure after intrathecal administration of iodinated contrast material. CONCLUSION. The risk of seizure remains an important concern for radiologists, who should strongly consider practice parameter guidelines that address this risk.
