[The value of xerotomography in the radiologic diagnosis of chronic cervical myelopathy (author's transl)].
Report on experience with radiologic diagnosis of 13 patients with chronic cervical myelopathy, who were examined at our clinic within 6 months. The various neuroradiologic findings are described and evaluated as to their causal importance. If plain radiograms show a spinal canal of normal diameter and where there are no multiple osteochondrotic changes, examinations with positive contrast media are most suitable. Air myelograms should be used when the advantages of xerotomography can be made use of.
