[Myelography with amipaque in infants and children (author's transl)].

The non-ionic water-soluble contrast medium Amipaque (metrizamide) shows a lowered neurotoxicity, and therefore it may be used in the entire spinal canal. The better visibility of fine structures compared with oily and gaseous contrast media allows an excellent diagnostic approach to all spinal affections. Our technique of myelography is described and typical examples are given.
