Outpatient myelography: an acceptable and cost-effective technique

AH Choudhri, PC Rowlands, CJ Barber, J Johnson and JM Stevens
Department of Radiology, St Mary's Hospital, London.

Sixty-five patients with stable low back pain had their lumbar myelography performed as outpatients, staying in the department for 1 h after the examination. The incidence of post-myelogram headache was similar to that reported for inpatients. No serious after-effects occurred in the study group. The vast majority of patients preferred to be at home following the study. It is concluded that outpatient myelography is safe, less expensive and preferred by the patients.
