Peridurography

Peridurography is one of the methods for diagnosing diseases of the dura mater and surrounding tissues. It allows you to obtain an image of the epidural space, which can be useful in diagnosing diseases such as arachnoid cysts, tumors, infections and other pathological processes.

To carry out peridurography, special equipment is used, which allows you to obtain images of the epidural space in various projections. This may include x-rays, ultrasounds or magnetic resonance imaging.

After obtaining images of the epidural space, the doctor can determine the presence or absence of pathological changes such as tumors, cysts or infections. This helps him make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Peridurography can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for diseases of the dura mater. For example, after surgery on the brain or skull, the doctor may use peridurography to check how well the surgery was performed and whether there are any complications.

In general, peridurography is an important method for diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of diseases of the dura mater, which allows obtaining accurate and detailed images of the epidural space.
