Peridurography (15 cases) and continuous cervical epidural blocks (8 cases) were performed on patients with cervical root irritation. Peridurography is a better method in detecting the changes of peridural space, especially those of intervertebral foramen, and poses less risk than myelography. Therefore, it is a useful diagnostic method for patients with cervical diseases whose symptoms are restricted to radiculopathy. It is safely carried out on outpatients.Continuous epidural blocks can give an instant relief of pain, that is a great pleasure to patients with severe symptoms, and can even completely relieve the symptoms of majority of patients with radiculomyelopathy when applied with cervical traction and steroid injection. Symptoms of radiculomyelopathy was alleviated significantly following continuous epidural block in seven out of eight patients and they were discharged without operation. One patient was treated with cervical anterior fusion because the sympptoms recurred when the epidural block was discontinued.
