[Pulmonary edema secondary to the intravenous administration of iodized contrast. A clinical case with high-resolution tomodensitometry studies].

Contrast media related reactions are numerous and of variable gravity. We report a case of pulmonary edema related to the intravenous administration of contrast media. Cardiogenic and non cardiogenic pulmonary edema are pathophysiologic possibilities. High resolution CT findings associate patchy ground glass areas and smooth thickening of subpleural septa, both rapidly disappearing.
