Abstract

We describe a new method of cervical air myelography which has been made with 20-40ml of air using the catheter.This method has been performed on 52 patients with various cervical abnormalities. It can be performed simply and safely.Advantages and disadvantages of this method on the cervical spondylosis were discussed in comparison with conventional oil myelography.This technique is especially useful in demonstrating the spinal canal stenosis and should be used more widely in cervical lesions.
