title: CT metrizamide myelography for intraspinal and paraspinal neoplasms in infants and children.
abstract: Computed tomography (CT) metrizamide myelography is an accurate and satisfactory method for examining the spinal cord in infants and children with suspected intraspinal neoplasms. It was performed in 13 infants and children and in one adult with intra- and paraspinal neoplasms. CT metrizamide myelography in paraspinal masses provides the total geography of the mass; that is, possible intraspinal extension, as well as the paraspinal portion itself. As such, it is superior to conventional myelography.
