[Anulography].
Despite new imaging modalities such as MRI, the discography remains useful, particularly as the first step of chemonucleolysis. The anulography corresponds to a technical error due to the wrong position of the needle during the procedure. We have noticed 32 anulographies on 1226 discographies done in our department, between 1985 and 1989. The anulography exhibits a typical pattern that must be diagnosed; if not, that can lead to a diagnosis mistake or a wrong therapeutic attitude. The needle of discography must then be repositioned.
