Good ratings were attained in 74% of Amipaque and 76% of Pantopaque examinations. Demonstration of nerve rootlets in the cauda equina and filling of lumbar root sleeves were superior with Amipaque. Amipaque more easily demonstrated the high posterior cervical subarachnoid space and the anterior and posterior margins of the cervical spinal cord. The incidence of postmyelographic headache was 38% with Amipaque and 32% with Pantopaque. Nausea and vomiting were more common with Amipaque. Two patients experienced grand mal seizures after examination with Amipaque.Article HistoryReceived: June 6 1978Accepted: July 31 1978Published in print: Dec 1978 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByEpidural metastasis and spinal cord compressionKester A.Phillips, DavidSchiff2022Jan1Convective forces increase rostral delivery of intrathecal radiotracers and antisense oligonucleotides in the cynomolgus monkey nervous systemJenna M.Sullivan, CurtMazur, Daniel A.Wolf, LauraHorky, NicolasCurrier, BethanyFitzsimmons, JacobHesterman, RachelPauplis, ScottHaller, BeritPowers, LeighlaTayefeh, BeaDeBrosse-Serra, JackHoppin, HollyKordasiewicz, Eric E.Swayze, AjayVerma8 August 2020 | Journal of Translational Medicine, Vol. 18, No. 1MyelographyDonald B.Price, A.
