| dc.description.abstract | This is a prospective study to try and determine the role of myelography in the management of patients with spinal pathology at the Kenyatta National HospLtal, (KNH) Nairobi. 60 patients referred to the X-ray Department, KNH between November 1987
and January 1989 have been included. The study has. attempted to correlate the clinical, myelographic and surgical findings in the patients.
The study has shown that patients in the age group 30-39 years were referred more frequently for myelographic examination and that the commonest spinal pathology requiring myelographic examination is prolapsed intervertebral disc in the lumbar
spine.
Suggestions have been given at the end of the study as a guideline for future myelographic examinations at KNH. | en |
