Experimental Demyelination and Remyelination of Murine Spinal Cord by Focal Injection of Lysolecithin
Published on: March 26, 2015
Abstract:
Amipaque (Metrizamide) when injected intrathecally, acts as a drug which may cause side effects and even complications. The adverse effects depend on the amount and concentration of the medium which reach the surface of the brain. The examination of the cervical area carries a risk that undiluted contrast material escapes into the cranial cavity. Knowledge of physical, physiological and pathophysiological properties of the medium is mandatory for proper management of the examination. Careful evaluation of the patient and the diagnostic problem and correct technique of cervical myelography gives perfect diagnostic information, minimal side-effects and no risk of serious complications.
