Acetabular Central Fracture Dislocation after Generalized Seizure during Lumbar Myelography with Iohexol
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fracture is a less common complication in seizure patients, and fractures as a consequence of convulsive seizures without direct trauma occur in 0.3% of cases. Acetabular fractures after convulsions are even more rare, and only a few cases of acetabular fracture dislocations, purely caused by convulsive activity, have been reported. Therefore, we report a case of unilateral acetabular central fracture dislocation after a seizure episode, with relevant literature review. The seizure attack occurred after contrast media (Iohexol) injection for checking the myelography.

متن کاملIohexol versus metrizamide for lumbar myelography: double-blind trial.
Lumbar myelography was performed in 50 patients; 25 received iohexol (an investigational aqueous contrast agent) and 25 received metrizamide. The two media produced radiographs of equal quality. However, iohexol is stable in solution, while metrizamide is not. Further, markedly less morbidity resulted from iohexol. These features indicate that iohexol may be superior to metrizamide as a contras...

The side effects of iohexol were evaluated in the 300 patients who had nonemergency myelography over a 9 month period. No patients studied with myelography were excluded from the iohexol trial. Age range was 14-86 years. Introduction was by lumbar puncture in 206 patients and by lateral C1-C2 injection in 94. Side effects, including discomfort, were denied by 81.3% of the patients. The other 18...
متن کاملLiterature Review and Clinical Presentation of Bilateral Acetabular Fractures Secondary to Seizure Attacks
Central acetabular fracture dislocation is usually caused by high-energy external trauma. However, 26 cases that occurred as a result of a seizure attack appeared in the literature from 1970 to 2007, with the seizure attacks themselves caused by many different factors. In this setting, the central acetabular fracture not caused by direct trauma might initially remain unnoticed leading to a dela...
متن کاملIohexol in lumbar myelography: preliminary results from an open, noncomparative multicenter clinical study.
This is a preliminary report of the first clinical trials using iohexol as a contrast agent in lumbar myelography. The study was noncomparative and involved 82 adult patients in four centers. Iohexol doses of 10-15 ml (180 mg I/ml) were administered and clinical and laboratory tests were performed before and at intervals during 48 hr after myelography. Side effects were noted in 29 (35%) of 82 ...
