The radiographic appearance of gas collection in the intervertebral disc represents the so-called "vacuum phenomenon." Incidence of the vacuum phenomenon on plain radiographs is reported to be 1-20%, whereas gas-containing disc herniations are rarely observed. We present a case report involving a patient with L4/5 gas-containing disc herniation, which was demonstrated by CT and MRI scans and was also surgically documented.

Generally speaking, these anomalies may consist of a bifid, conjoined structure, of a transverse course or of a characteristic anastomized appearance.

Iohexol (Omnipaque) is a non-ionic contrast media for neuroradiology, which causes the neurological complications on rare occasions. A 63-year-old, righthanded female suffered from dysphemia 12 hours after myelography with iohexol via lumbar puncture. The initial cerebral computed tomography scan revealed the generalized contrast media uptake into the cisterns, which was typical to the finding after intrathecal iohexol injection.

Study Design: The authors report a penetrating gunshot injury to the cervical spine at the C6 level, with retention of the missile within the spinal canal at the T10 level.
Objectives: The treatment of this patient involved debridement of entrance wound on the day of admission and laminectomies in the cervical and thoracic levels 3 days after the incident.
Summary Of Background Data: The migration of a foreign body along the intracranial part of the central nervous system has been reported in the literature, but we have found no report of an intercanal gunshot wound measuring 30 cm with complete liquefaction of the cord.
