Abstract
Seventeen patients with cervical spinal cord cavities were studied with myelography,
postmyelographic computed tomography scanning, and magnetic resonance imaging. The
three diagnostic techniques were compared for accuracy, patient comfort, and ease
of procedure. Magnetic resonance imaging was the best diagnostic and most comfortable
procedure. There is no need for myelography or postmyelographic computed tomography
scanning for the evaluation of cervical syringomyelia.
