Abstract EN

Lumbar myelogram utilizing nonionic contrast is a commonly performed procedure to identify spinal pathology.

Complication rates are low.

Cerebral edema has been shown to occur following intrathecal injection of ionic contrast; however, no current literature has documented this complication relating to the ubiquitously used nonionic contrast medium.

We report a case of a patient who developed malignant cerebral edema following a lumbar myelogram with Isovue-M 300 nonionic water-soluble intrathecal contrast.

We believe this is the first reported case of cerebral edema resulting from the use of a nonionic contrast.
