Abstract
The injection of 0.5 or 1 ml of pantopaque (ethyl iodophenylundecylate) into the cistern of cats produced an elevation in cerebrospinal fluid protein. This elevation was usually observed within the first 2 postmyelographic weeks and persisted for approximately 4 months. The protein response was accompanied by a comparable elevation in the cerebrospinal fluid white cell level. Repeated cisternal punctures alone had no effect on consequent protein or cell determinations. The data suggest that intrathecal pantopaque elicits a meningovascular response of an inflammatory nature, although the clinical course of the animal remains asymptomatic. The probability that pantopaque elicits a similar response in man is discussed. © 1960.
