Gadolinium encephalopathy after intrathecal gadolinium injection.
BACKGROUND Gadolinium-induced encephalopathy is a well documented complication due to the inadvertent entrance of a high dose of gadolinium into the intrathecal compartment. In lab animals, injecting gadolinium into the intrathecal compartment resulted in neurotoxicity and seizures. It is also well recognized that the presence of autologous blood in the intrathecal compartment can cause a broad...

متن کاملIntrathecal gadolinium-enhanced MR cisternography: a comprehensive review.
CE-MRC has been in use for the past 15 years and was reported to be a useful method in the evaluation of CSF disorders and hydrocephalus. The use of CE-MRC in conjunction with other MR imaging techniques has been shown to be effective in selected cases for the evaluation of several disorders of cerebrospinal system. CE-MRC has certain advantages over other cisternographic studies with fewer sid...
متن کاملGadolinium diskography.
Gadolinium can be used to perform diskography in patients with a documented allergy to iodinated contrast material. MR images can be obtained in multiple planes with excellent delineation of disk architecture. Dilute gadolinium leaves the disk space within a few days of injection.
متن کاملAre gadolinium contrast agents suitable for gadolinium neutron capture therapy?
OBJECTIVE Gadolinium neutron capture therapy (GdNCT) is a potential treatment for malignant tumors based on two steps: (1) injection of a tumor-specific (157)Gd compound; (2) tumor irradiation with thermal neutrons. The GdNC reaction can induce cell death provided that Gd is proximate to DNA. Here, we studied the nuclear uptake of Gd by glioblastoma (GBM) tumor cells after treatment with two Gd...
