title: Paravertebral extravasation of contrast medium during lumbar myelography.
abstract: We report on paravertebral extravasation of water soluble contrast medium seen during lumbar myelography and/or subsequent post myelogram CT in 10 patients. This is an uncommon feature of lumbar myelography occurring in less than 1% of cases in our experience and which has not been previously documented.
