Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> Myelography is a commonly used procedure to evaluate the spinal canal. However, the procedure is not without risk, chiefly risk of seizure after intrathecal administration of iodinated contrast material. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> The risk of seizure remains an important concern for radiologists, who should strongly consider practice parameter guidelines that address this risk.
