    Iohexol, a non-ionic contrast medium, is safe for canine cervical myelography. Dogs showed no adverse effects, with only a minor, temporary increase in cerebrospinal fluid neutrophils observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Radiology
    • Neurology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Cervical myelography is a diagnostic imaging technique used in veterinary medicine.
    • Non-ionic, water-soluble contrast media are preferred for myelography due to safety profiles.
    • Iohexol is a widely used non-ionic contrast agent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of iohexol for cervical myelography in dogs.
    • To assess potential adverse effects of iohexol in canine subjects.

    Main Methods:

    • Cervical myelography was performed on dogs weighing 10-17 kg using iohexol.
    • Animals were monitored for clinical signs, including seizures.
    • Cerebrospinal fluid was analyzed for neutrophil count at 10 days and 60 days post-procedure.

    Main Results:

    • All dogs remained clinically normal post-myelography, with no observed seizures.
    • A slight, statistically significant increase in cerebrospinal fluid neutrophils was noted at 10 days (p < 0.05).
    • Neutrophil counts returned to baseline levels by 60 days post-myelography.

    Conclusions:

    • Iohexol demonstrates a favorable safety profile for cervical myelography in dogs.
    • The transient increase in neutrophils suggests a mild inflammatory response that resolves naturally.
    • Iohexol is a potentially suitable contrast medium for clinical application in canine myelography.
