Abstract
ABSTRACT 44 discs (in 35 patients) were diagnosed as being ruptured by combined discography and metrizamide myelography. The patients had initially presented with confusing low back pain. All the discs were subsequently shown to be ruptured at surgery. Combined discography and metrizamide myelography is suggested as a method of evaluation of selected difficult cases of confusing low back pain.
