Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed the extended myelograms of 388 patients and identified
two clinically occult intradural extramedullary lesions of the thoracic region of
the spinal canal. Quality evaluation of the adjacent thoracic region can be quickly
and simply performed at the time of lumbar or cervical myelography with the high volumes
of relatively nontoxic water soluble intrathecal contrast agents allowed today. We
recommend this screen to detect otherwise occult thoracic lesions.
