“…Only one patient in this series had extensive urticaria and facial edema [19]. Bendel and Hoogland reported a case of Quincke edema following intrathecal administration of metrizamide [20]. In a series of over 330,000 patients, urticaria occurred in 3.16% who received ionic CM and in 0.47% who received nonionic CM [6].…”

The terms "immediate" and "delayed" adverse reactions induced by contrast media (CM) refer to the reactions' onset but do not provide substantial information concerning the clinical manifestation, the potential risk factors, the treatment modalities, or prevention. Because a variety of different reactions caused by different pathophysiological mechanisms may arise immediately or be delayed after CM injection, and because these need different management, the aim of the present paper is to present the clinical features and to exactly characterize lesser-known cutaneous reactions. A thorough knowledge of the clinical features, their adequate treatment, and, possibly, the subsequent diagnostic procedure for preventing recurrence after reexposure to CM would improve patient management.

Electrophysiological and cognitive effects of lumbar myelography with iopamidol: comparison with diagnostic lumbar puncture

et al. 1993

To assess the influence of contrast medium on cortical function, we studied 20 patients undergoing lumbar myelography with iopamidol and 10 patients undergoing diagnostic lumbar puncture (controls). The examinations performed before and 6 and 24 h after myelography (or lumbar puncture) included a neuropsychological battery and an electrophysiological evaluation. In the patients cranial CT was performed thrice to assess passage of contrast medium from the cerebrospinal fluid into the brain. Neither patients nor controls had significantly different scores on neuropsychological testing after the diagnostic examinations. A transient slowing of basal EEG activity could be detected in 2 patients and 3 controls 6 h after the lumbar puncture. In 3 patients CT showed a transient increase in density of the brain. None of the parameters studied was significantly affected by myelography with iopamidol. CT findings support the hypothesis of early clearance of iopamidol from brain tissue, explaining its low neurotoxicity.

Quincke oedema following intrathecal administration of metrizamide

Abstract: The authors describe a case history of a patient who had, after intrathecal administration of metrizamide, a systemic reaction in the form of Quincke Oedema. The physiological and toxic properties of metrizamide are briefly discussed.
