Abstract
|
|
|
Meningeal irritation signs sometimes develop after myelography due to backerial
infection by contamination during the procedure or chemical irritiation by contrast media
itself. CSF profiles of chemical meningitis often mimick those of bacterial meningitis,
sometimes causing difficulty in differentiation, but in that case clinical course soon
reverse in short time without any complication. Postmyelography chemical meningitis by
metrizamide (AmlpaqueR) has been well described but iohexol (OmnipaqueR) has rarely
been reported to cause chemical meningitis. We experienced a patient of chemical
meningitis by iohexol and here describe the case.
