[Caudography with Dimer-X in the diagnosis of lumbar and sciatic pain syndromes of orthopedic interest. Report of 100 consecutive examinations].
It was found that the employment of Dimer-X (methylglucamine jocarmate) as contrast medium greatly reduced the frequency of secondary phenomena in 100 caudographies performed in subjects with lumbar and sciatic pain syndromes of orthopaedic interest. Comparison between the clinical, caudographic and surgical findings showed how contrastography offered highly accurate information in support of the clinical diagnosis of disk compression in case of sufficiently severe lumbar and sciatic pain.
