Reactions to iophendylate in relation to multiple sclerosis.
A retrospective survey was made of 57 consecutive patients referred for myelography by one neurological team. Reactions occurred in patients with multiple sclerosis significantly more often than in all other patients (P=0.01). This finding appears to support the belief that demyelination may be associated with more severe reactions to iophendylate myelography.
