Abstract
The effect of hydration on the incidence of complications from myelography with aqueous media was studied. Myelography was performed with methylglucamine locarmate in dehydrated and vigorously hydrated monkeys. The incidence of seizures and the severity of arachnoiditis were significantly greater in the dehydrated animals. Patients may be permitted fluids ad lib prior to myelography with aqueous media, or in some cases be given i.v. fluids.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
