C-T Metrizamid and surgical corelation in Spina Bifida Cystica

ABSTRACT

This work was conducted on 38 cases of spina bifida cystica with employment of C.T. mitrizamid as preliminary methods of investigation and treated by microsurgical technique. The work showed that the agreement of surgical verification with C.T. mitrizamid was in 32 cases with percentage of 84.21%. The disagreement was only in 15.79% of the cases [6 cases]. So, C.T. mitrizamid is trustful method of investigation as regard to study of both vertebral lipoma in wide anomalies. MRI can be use as confirmatory method if intraspinal lipoma in wide spinal canal suspected to give more delineation of the soft tissue contents
