Aseptic meningitis secondary to metrizamide lumbar myelography in a 4 1/2-month-old infant.

Although metrizamide has been used as a contrast agent for myelography for the past decade, there are few reports of its use in the pediatric population. Aseptic meningitis has rarely been reported as an adverse effect of metrizamide in adults. The first pediatric case of aseptic meningitis following lumbar myelography with metrizamide is reported.
