Abstract

✓ The authors describe a percutaneous technique for producing extra- and intramedullary mass lesions in the dog and monkey. Small balloon catheters introduced through needles into the spinal canal can be positioned under fluoroscopic control to simulate epidural masses or masses within the cord. Selective spinal cord arteriography and silicone perfusion studies demonstrate the effect of such masses on spinal cord blood flow.
