    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Cisternal puncture is a diagnostic procedure.
    • Contrast media are essential for radiographic visualization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Conray-280 (meglumine iothalamate) for cisterna magna injections.
    • To assess radiographic visualization of the spinal cord.

    Main Methods:

    • Conray-280 (meglumine iothalamate) was injected into the cisterna magna in 46 human patients.
    • A 5 ml, 50% solution of Conray-280 was used.
    • Patient outcomes and radiographic images were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • No complications were observed that were attributable to the irritant effects of Conray-280.

  • Satisfactory radiographic visualization was achieved in 87% of the cases.
  • Clear delineation of the anterior and posterior borders of the spinal cord was obtained.

    • Conclusions:

    • Conray-280 (meglumine iothalamate) can be safely injected into the cisterna magna in humans.
    • It provides effective radiographic visualization of the spinal cord.
    • It is a suitable contrast agent for this procedure.
