A technique for early Pantopaque myelography in cervical spinal cord injuries. 1976

G W Sypert, and J R Mozingo

A simple, reliable method for early Pantopaque myelography in patients with traumatic injuries of the cervical spinal cord is presented. Myelography is accomplished with the patient prone on a Stryker frame after vertebral reduction and alignment have been achieved with axial skeletal traction. A lateral C1-2 spinal puncture and a portable ""C-arm'' image intensifier with televised fluoroscopy are used. There have been no complications and no occurrences of vertebral re-dislocation with this technique.
