Imaging modalities frequently utilize iodinated-based contrast agents (IBCAs) to assist professionals in deficit identification and improve clinical outcomes for patients. However, they are not without risk. In patients with post-radiological neurological deficits, contrast-induced neurotoxicity (CIN) should be among the top differentials. In this case report, we present the case of a 61-year-old female who experienced classical signs and symptoms of neurotoxicity after a cerebral angiogram. The patient's clinical detriments stemming from iodinated contrast resolved after a multi-day treatment of high-dose steroid use.
成像模态经常使用基于碘的造影剂(IBCAs)来帮助专业人员识别缺陷并改善患者的临床结局。然而,它们并非没有风险。在患有放射后神经功能缺损的患者中,造影剂诱导的神经毒性(CIN)应列为主要鉴别诊断之一。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名61岁女性在脑血管造影后出现神经毒性典型体征和症状的病例。经过多日高剂量类固醇治疗,患者因碘造影剂引起的临床损害得以缓解。
