Side effects after lumbar myelography with dimeglumine iocarmate (Dimer-X). Further experiences. 1975

L Irstam, and U Selldén

Lumbar myelography with dimeglumine iocarmate was performed in 90 cases premedicated with diazepam (Valium). EEG was performed before, as well as 3 and 24 hours after myelography. The use of diazepam interfered to some extent with the interpretation of the EEG. In 3 cases EEG abnormalities occurred 3 hours after myelography, most probably ascribable to Dimer-X. No further changes were found in the 24-hour recording. Immediate side effects were few and mild and seizures did not appear. The EEG abnormalities were equally distributed among patients with and without side effects.
