title: Efficacy and morbidity of water soluble and oil-based myelography. Study compares both methods in 314 patients.
abstract: Retrospective studies were carried out on 314 patients who underwent oil-based or water-soluble myelography between July 1981 and July 1982 in two community hospitals. Morbidities and efficacies were compared and it was concluded that metrizamide myelography is a preferable method.
