Amipaque myelography without late adhesive arachnoid changes.

P Ahlgren

    Neuroradiology
    |February 17, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Remyelography using Amipaque showed minimal adverse effects in most cases. Only two patients experienced worsening arachnoiditis, with one case potentially linked to a prior operation, not the contrast agent.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Myelography is a diagnostic imaging technique.
    • Amipaque is a contrast medium used in myelography.
    • Assessing the safety and long-term effects of contrast media is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and incidence of late adverse reactions following Amipaque myelography.
    • To assess the impact of repeat myelography (remyelography) with Amipaque.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed sixty-three myelographies using Amipaque.
    • Conducted remyelographies in a subset of patients after an interval of over two months.
    • Registered 269 remyelographies, noting any secondary late reactions.

    Main Results:

    • One case showed progression of pre-existing arachnoiditis during remyelography.
    • One case exhibited minimal nerve root changes attributed to a subsequent operation.
    • No secondary late reactions were registered in 269 remyelographies.
    • Two cases of increased arachnoid changes possibly related to prior non-Amipaque contrast media were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Remyelography with Amipaque appears to have a low incidence of significant late adverse reactions.
    • Observed arachnoid changes in remyelography cases were generally not attributable to Amipaque itself, with other factors like prior operations or different contrast agents being more likely causes.
