Myelogram performed using iohexol for four spinally injured dogs

Myelogram was performed for four dogs with spinal injury because the site of spinal injury and degree of spinal compression were identified. We used iohexol (240 mg%) which is relatively new contrast medium. We injected 0.3 ml/kg of iohexol to the cisterna magna. It was able to find the site of spinal injury. There were no adverse reactions during and after general anesthesia. It was concluded that the myelogram with iohexol was a very safe technique because there were no adverse reactions to spinal injury cases
