Chronic arachnoiditis after a pantopaque study of the posterior fossa.

Abstract
Reported is a case in which chronic arachnoiditis resulted as a complication of using Pantopaque in studying the posterior fossa. The possibility that prophylactic intrathecal injections of methylprednisolone acetate while performing Pantopaque myelography help avoid serious complications is discussed.
