Dacryocystography with amipaque (metrizamide).

J G Johansen, I Udnaes

    Acta Ophthalmologica

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Amipaque is an ideal contrast medium for dacryocystography due to its low osmolality and high viscosity. It is the only available aqueous option that does not cause pain in the conjunctival sac, even at higher concentrations.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Dacryocystography requires a contrast medium for visualizing the lacrimal sac.
    • Previous contrast agents may cause discomfort or adverse reactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the suitability of Amipaque as a contrast medium for dacryocystography.

    Main Methods:

    • Administration of Amipaque into the conjunctival sac for dacryocystography.

    Main Results:

    • Amipaque exhibits low osmolality and high viscosity.
    • Amipaque does not induce pain in the conjunctival sac, even at elevated concentrations.

    Conclusions:

    • Amipaque is a highly suitable and well-tolerated contrast medium for dacryocystography.
