Abstract
Sixty-five patients with recurrent radicular complaints after operation for lumbar disc herniation underwent CT examination before and after intravenous contrast application (volume: 1.5-2.0 ml/kg body weight; flow rate: 0.35 ml/s). Postsurgical hypertrophic scar tissue showed definite contrast enhancement, whereas disc herniation remained unenhanced. Intravenous contrast application is recommended in patients previously operated upon for disc herniation.Entities:
