[Topographic forms of herniated lumbar discs. Contribution of saccoradiculographie and zonographie].

The clinical signs of herniated lumbar disc do not always allow to settle their level. Therefore authors add, to sacco-radiculography with standard plates, frontal zonographic sections. Then, they study radiographic findings and segregate some particular topographic forms of herniated discs: 1) with fragment behind verebral body, 2) with deviated root outside the disc herniation, 3) in front of the lamina and behind the root. Some of them have their own clinical signs, especially paralysed forms of L5 sciatic with abolition of achilean reflexe. Further more they propose hemilaminectomy for total removal of herniated lumbar discs with fragment behind the vertebral body. They conclude to advantage of usually making a saccoradiculography with the dimer iothalamate of methyl glucamine (Dimer X) before each operation.

[The flexion test in cervical myelography with water soluble contrast media].

The flexion test can supply important data during cervical myelography with water soluble contrast media in patients with cervical lesions. Flexion causes disappearance of false stenoses of the cervical subarachnoid space, related to folds in the yellow ligament and to disc protrusions occurring during extension. Blocking of the column of contrast medium in severe stenoses of the canal is relieved by flexion of the cervical spine. Moreover, flexion and extension tests during myelography often serve to differentiate between hard and soft herniated disks.
