A study was made of the files 2292 patients examined by sacco-radiculography with watersoluble contrast medium, of whom 340 had been subjected to a second examination. 284 of these had undergone surgery with good results during the interval between the two examinations. In 56 cases, repeat sacco-radiculography was carried out but no operation performed. In both groups of patients a semiological study was made of the radiological appearances to determine which were the effects of the contrast medium and which could be attributed to the operation. The paper concludes with a discussion of the problem of genuine and false albuminoachies of sacco-radiculography using meglumine locarmate (dimer-X).
Parieto-occipital overlap is a common phenomenon in the newborn. As a result of the compression of the superior longitudinal sinus which it causes, it has grave consequences on the cerebral circulation. It may be responsible for deep cerebral infarctions by the deviation of blood supply which its causes. The phenomenon of overlap is greatly accentuated in the hydrocephalic child.
The migration of lipiodol injected sub-occipitally (to obtain a lateral cervical myelogram) into the posterior fossa resulted in a unusual immediate neurological complication involving a major vegetative syndrome, facial hemispasm, excruciating pain in the left ear and, finally, epileptic loss of consciousness. The most likely aetiological hypotheses are acute changes provoked in the arachnoid mater by the substance or an arteria embolism.
