The records of 131 horses undergoing general anaesthesia and positive contrast cervical myelography with metrizamide were examined to determine the effect of the procedure on the 'patient'. Three per cent of minimally ataxic and moderately ataxic horses had serious complications after myelography. Thirty-two per cent of severely ataxic horses died or were destroyed after general anaesthesia and myelography. Although general anaesthesia and myelography are essential components of a complete neurological evaluation of a horse, they impose a significant risk.
对131匹接受全身麻醉并用甲泛葡胺进行阳性对比剂颈椎脊髓造影的马匹记录进行了检查，以确定该操作对“患者”的影响。3%的轻度共济失调和中度共济失调马匹在脊髓造影后出现严重并发症。32%的重度共济失调马匹在全身麻醉和脊髓造影后死亡或被安乐死。尽管全身麻醉和脊髓造影是对马匹进行完整神经学评估的重要组成部分，但它们也带来了重大风险。
