Seizure after intrathecal administration of iopamidol.

چکیده
Serious adverse reactions after myelography with non ionic contrast media are relatively rare. No cases of encephalopathy and only one of seizure have been reported with intrathecal iopamidol. We describe two patients who had a seizure after iopamidol myelography in a retrospective series of 236 consecutive patients between April 1986 and September 1987 to emphasize that serious reactions to intrathecal iopamidol may be more common than reported in the literature.

Status epilepticus and seizures induced by iopamidol myelography
PURPOSE To report that iopamidol myelography can induce status epilepticus (SE) in patients carrying the diagnosis of symptomatic epilepsy and to estimate the incidence of seizures in patients undergoing iopamidol myelography. METHODS We retrospectively identified all patients with seizures/SE associated with 1350 iopamidol myelographies during the last 5 years at our institution. The impact ...
متن کاملBrain parenchyma penetration by intrathecal nonionic iopamidol.
Iopamidol, a nonionic, water-soluble contrast medium, has been recently recommended for myelography. As with other such media, the extent of parenchymal penetration is of interest in relation to the genesis of clinical complications. In this study the degree and depth of brain penetration of intrathecal iopamidol, using an iodine concentration of 280 mg l/ml, were compared at 15 and 60 min in a...
متن کاملComparison of the pharmacokinetics of imipenem after intravenous and intrathecal administration in rabbits.
BACKGROUND Intrathecal administration of antibiotics has potentially high effectiveness for the treatment for severe intracranial infections, particularly nosocomial meningitis. The use of intrathecal injection of antibiotics has been reported mostly in case reports. However, there is sparse data regarding the pharmacokinetics of antibiotics after intrathecal administration. AIM This study in...
متن کاملIn vivo activity of norhydrocodone: an active metabolite of hydrocodone.
Hydrocodone is primarily metabolized to hydromorphone and norhydrocodone. Although hydromorphone is a known active metabolite of hydrocodone, the in vivo activity of norhydrocodone is not well documented. In the current study, the pharmacodynamics of norhydrocodone were evaluated and compared with hydrocodone and hydromorphone. Binding studies established that norhydrocodone, similar to hydroco...
متن کاملIntractable epilepsy in patients treated for childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia
PURPOSE In the 1970s and 80s, standard treatment for childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) included both intrathecal methotrexate and whole-brain irradiation. During acute treatment, seizures were not uncommon. The development of intractable epilepsy years after treatment, however, has not been well described in the literature. We describe five patients who were treated for acute lymphocyt...
