Because the contrast is injected into the cerebrospinal fluid CSF which also surrounds the brain, there is a small risk of seizure after the injection.
Because this procedure involves a lumbar puncture, these potential complications may occur:. There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the procedure. If you are having a myelogram at Johns Hopkins Hospital or Bayview Medical Center, a neuroradiologist or radiology nurse will contact you by phone two or three days prior to your myelography to discuss the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
Options should be discussed with you and your doctor. A gown will be provided for you. However, the procedure may also be done while you remain in your clothes from home. For this reason, try to wear non-restrictive, comfortable clothing and slip on shoes if possible. Please remove all piercings and leave all jewelry and valuables at home. If you are not sure if it is safe for you, contact your primary care provider or referring provider.
However, on the day of the procedure, do not eat for three hours before the procedure. You may have liquids and can take your usual medications unless previously advised to hold certain medications in preparation for the myelography.
Please bring a current list of your medications and allergies with you. This is for your safety and comfort. A myelogram may be done on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. For outpatients, please allow four hours for the preparation, procedure, and recovery time. Generally, a myelogram follows this process:. You may experience discomfort during the myelogram. The radiologist will use all possible comfort measures and complete the procedure as quickly as possible to minimize any discomfort or pain.
You need to sit or lay down for several hours after the procedure to reduce your risk of developing a CSF cerebral spinal fluid leak.
Most patients are asked to lie down for two hours after the procedure. If you need to urinate, you may need to do so in a bedpan or urinal during the time that you need to stay flat. You will be asked to drink extra fluids to rehydrate after the procedure.
This helps to wash out the contrast dye and it helps your body replace the spinal fluid that was removed. It also reduces the chance of developing a headache. When you have completed the recovery period, you will be taken to your hospital room or discharged to your home. If you go home, usually your healthcare provider will advise you to rest for the remainder of the day.
