Iopamidol, a water-soluble contrast agent, has been rarely associated with seizures. We describe a case of generalized tonic-clonic seizure after cervical myelography with iopamidol in a previously healthy young man. In patients presenting with seizures, a history of recent myelography should be considered as an etiology. Iopamidol myelography may be associated with a risk of seizures. Clinicians need to be aware of this complication and inform their patients about such risk.
碘帕醇是一种水溶性造影剂,很少与癫痫发作相关。我们描述了一例在一名既往健康的年轻男性中,使用碘帕醇进行颈椎脊髓造影后发生全身强直阵挛性发作的病例。对于出现癫痫发作的患者,应考虑近期脊髓造影史作为病因。碘帕醇脊髓造影可能与癫痫发作风险相关。临床医生需要意识到这种并发症,并告知患者此类风险。
