Lumbosacral myelography in dogs: A safer technique

In search of a safer myelographic technique, we performed myelography via the lumbosacral intervertebral space. Eight dogs, in which the backflow of cerebrospinal fluid was observed, received contrast media via the lumbosacral intervertebral space. The subarachnoid contrast columns were successfully...

Summary:In search of a safer myelographic technique, we performed myelography via the lumbosacral intervertebral space. Eight dogs, in which the backflow of cerebrospinal fluid was observed, received contrast media via the lumbosacral intervertebral space. The subarachnoid contrast columns were successfully observed in 6 dogs. During and after examination, no physiological changes or neurological signs were observed. We recommend that the lumbosacral intervertebral space be selected first before implementing the conventional lumbar myelography.
