Summary

The results of a double-blind study of epidural venography with Iopamidol (B 15 000), a nonionic contrast medium, and 60% methylglucamine iothalamate, are reported. The side effects attributable to Iopamidol are few and mild when present, cause little discomfort to the patients, and are readily abated by symptomatic treatment.
