Following translumbar aortography fifteen patients were examined by computed tomography which revealed retroperitoneal hematomas in seven cases. Further follow-up in four of these showed gradual reduction of the hematomas in three, while in one an examination 7 days after aorthography showed progression. During operation, rupture of the aorta occurred, and the patient died on the first postoperative day.
Lumbar radiculographs were obtained in 252 patients with suspected disk herniation. Fifteen patients who underwent previous radiculography with Dimer-X plus Depo-Medrol exhibited adhesive arachnoiditis. This was not observed in 6 patients who received Dimer-X alone. No positive correlation between radiological diagnosis of adhesive arachnoiditis and clinical symptoms can be demonstrated. The authors suggest that steroids not be used intrathecally in combination with water-soluble contrast media.
