Using polytomographic techniques, gas myelography was performed in 162 patients with post-traumatic neurologic deficit. The type, extent, and location of lesions were easily demonstrated, allowing adequate preoperative surgical planning. In cases in which expected neurologic improvement did not follow surgery, postoperative myelography provided information so that remedial measures could be taken. No neurologic deterioration was noted in any of the patients and furthermore, arachnoiditis, which may accompany positive contrast myelography, has not been detected in any of the patients in the series reported.
使用多断层摄影技术，对162例创伤后神经功能缺损患者进行了气体脊髓造影。病变的类型、范围和位置很容易显示出来，有助于进行充分的术前手术规划。在手术后预期神经功能未改善的病例中，术后脊髓造影提供了信息，以便能够采取补救措施。该系列报道的所有患者均未出现神经功能恶化，此外，在任何患者中均未检测到可能伴随阳性造影剂脊髓造影的蛛网膜炎。
