title: Percutaneous minidose metrizamide endomyelographic computed tomography in syringomyelia.
abstract: Two patients presented with syringomyelia, each unusual. After neuroradiographic diagnosis with delayed metrizamide computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an interesting diagnostic question arose. A percutaneous minidose metrizamide endomyelographic CT (PMDMECT) study clarified each situation and directly affected the neurosurgical approaches. The features of each case, the technique of PMDMECT, and postoperative follow-up data are reported.
