Abstract
Gas myelography has not received the wide acceptance in America which it has been accorded in Scandinavia. Although polytomographic units, which enhance gas myelographic examinations, are located in most large centers, positive contrast examinations remain the preferred technique. At our institutions, however, gas myelography is utilized almost exclusively in examinations of children and adults. Since the spinal cord is directly visualized, any distortion in the normal anatomic continuity of the spinal canal can be appreciated, facilitating diagnosis and permitting precision in preoperative surgical planning. This report summarizes our experience utilizing gas myelography in pediatric patients with neurologic deficit.
