Abstract
Abstract The authors injected 12 to 88 ml Pantopaque in the myelography of 32 patients with varying degrees of kyphoscoliosis. The amount of contrast medium must be sufficient to completely fill the subarachnoid space at the site of curvature, allowing complete evaluation of the dural sac and spinal cord at that site. Intraspinal pathology such as tumors and syringomyelia can be excluded and the degree of compression of the dural sac and spinal cord evaluated. In this series 4 unsuspected abnormalities were defined by myelography: 2 syringomyelias, 1 diastematomyelia, and 1 intraspinal lipoma.
