title: [Significance of delayed myelography and computed tomography in the diagnosis of syringomyelia. An analysis of 19 cases].
abstract: We compared and analysed results of three diagnostic methods including Physical Examination Myelography and DMCT from 19 cases who were considered to have Syringomyelia at first visit. It was shown that DMCT is a reliable radiodiagnostic method in diagnosis of syringomyelia. The trustworthy basis can be given by DMCT to surgical treatment and diagnosis of atypical cases. Misdiagnosis may be made by DMCT for cases accompanied with intraspinal hemorrhage or instances of unsuitable scanning time. We, therefore, think that the history and the physical examination are still the main diagnostic method for this disease.
