Seizures, alterations in mental and cerebral functions, and ophthalmoplegia are known side effects of contrast agents. Here we report a case of self-limiting monoplegia in a patient after the administration of intracoronary iopromide after coronary angiography which emphasises that, although benign, contrast-induced monoplegia is a neurological disease which requires careful evaluation and accurate management.

False-Negative Motor-Evoked Potential Due to Contrast-Induced Encephalopathy During Coil Embolization for Intracranial Aneurysm: A Case Report.

Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare neurological complication that can occur following the use of contrast media during angiographic procedures. It can lead to neurological deficits, such as motor weakness. Transcranial motor-evoked potential (TcMEP) monitoring is commonly used to detect pyramidal tract disorders during embolization for intracranial aneurysms.

Background: Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare transient, reversible abnormality in the structure or function of the nervous system caused by the intravascular use of contrast agents. CIE can present with a range of neurological manifestations, including focal neurological deficits (hemiplegia, hemianopia, cortical blindness, aphasia, and parkinsonism) and systemic symptoms (confusion, seizures, and coma). However, if not accurately diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, CIE can cause irreversible damage to patients, especially critically ill patients.

Purpose: Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) was defined as new onset of neurological deficits after exposure to contrast media, which could be observed after the endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms.
Methods: We enrolled a consecutive cohort of patients who underwent endovascular treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms. CIE was defined as a reversible neuropathic syndrome that occurred after interventional therapy, accompanied by imaging abnormalities and excluding other diseases.

Background: Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare complication of the angiography process. CIE may mimic stroke symptoms clinically and subarachnoid hemorrhage radiologically. Previous CIE cases occurred after the initial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) scan.

Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare complication of endovascular treatment and is extensively reported as a transient and reversible phenomenon. This report describes a 62-year-old woman for embolization of an internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm. The operation was successful, but postoperation the patient suffered unconsciousness, blindness, hemiplegia, ophthalmoplegia, fever, and seizures.
