CERVICAL MYELOGRAPHY IN TRACTION INJURIES OF THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS



Download PDF

Abstract

1. Sixty myelographs have been obtained in severe traction injuries of the brachial plexus.

2. Seventy-eight traumatic meningoceles were outlined.

3. Multiple meningoceles indicate a gloomy prognosis.

4. In forty patients the results were compared with those obtained with the "axon reflex."

5. Myelography is a valuable aid in obtaining an early prognosis but the results must be correlated with the clinical picture.
