AI Article Synopsis
- A case of transient global amnesia occurred after administering a non-ionic iodinated contrast agent for an abdominal CT scan.
- Follow-up MRI scans showed signs of hippocampal microinfarction and temporary cerebral vasospasm.
- This is the first documented case highlighting the risk of arterial vasospasm related to intravenous iodinated contrast, emphasizing the need for caution among medical professionals.
Article Abstract
We present a unique case of transient global amnesia following intravenous administration of a non-ionic iodinated contrast agent for abdominal CT examination. Follow up MR imaging and MR angiography studies revealed hippocampal microinfarction and transient cerebral vasospasm. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case capturing arterial vasospasm following intravenous use of iodinated contrast. Medical professionals handling contrast agents should note the potential for these rare but serious adverse effects.
