title: [Myelomalacia following vertebral angiography with a femoral catheter (author's transl)].
abstract: Cerebral angiography with femoral catheters in two patients was followed by an incomplete cervical transverse myelitis. The complications were thought to be due to high contrast concentration in the cervical spinal vessels because of hypoplasia of one vertebral artery, and to contrast injection into the thyro-cervical trunk.
