Myelographic versus clinical diagnostics in lumbar disc disease

Abstract: The series consisted of 200 patients on whom lumbar myelography was performed for sciatica. After myelography, a disc operation was carried out on 95 patients. The episode of sciatica was the first for 90 patients. Objective neurologic signs were present in 185 patients, while 15 had only subjective symptoms. Definite or possible disc herniation was revealed by myelography in 66%. Most positive findings were located at the L4-L5 interspace. The clinical diagnostic accuracy rate was assessed from the patients' … Show more

“…Of these, nine studies investigated CT [3442], eight myelography [34, 3739, 41, 43], six MRI [36, 39, 43–46], and none assessed X-ray. All studies were performed in secondary care settings, such as neurological clinics or pain clinics; three studies [41, 43, 47] were retrospective (Table 1). All but one study evaluated old imaging techniques as they were published between 1982 and 1994, one study evaluating MRI was published in 2006 [46].…”
