The herniation of intervertebral disc is possibly diagnosed through the myelography, electromyography, discography or computerized tomography. Among them, the myelography is regarded as the popularized method that helps accurate analysis on the location and pattern of the lesion. The authors have studied 363 cases of herniated intervertebral disc with respect to the diagnostic accuracy of myelographic examination from January, 1982 to December, 1985 at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Radiology, National Police Hospital. The results were as follows; 1. The most common age group was 21 to 30 years old and ratio of male and female was 9.7: l. 2. The most common site of the lesion was between L4 and L5 vertebra in myelography. 3. Of the 363 cases which underwent the myelography, 305(84.0%) represented positive findings. 4. Myelographic accuracy was coincided with the clinical diagnosis regarding the location of herniation of intervertebebral disc in 262 cases(72.1%).
