Experimental pantopaque arachnoiditis in the monkey.

摘要: Experiments with large volumes of retained Pantopaque in the subarachnoid space rhesus monkey show that is always accompanied by some degree arachnoidal reaction. Radiological and histological evidence entrapped Pantopaque, especially within conus cauda region, may indicate proliferative changes arachnoid. The most several arachnoiditis was seen animals instilled into bloody cerebrospinal fluid. This not a one-to-one relationship, however, nor did it occur. Moreover, while all showed reaction, no clinical arachnoiditis.
