Description
Shitu Zhuo and co-authors report a rare case of spinal cord injury caused by contrast dye during a brain scan procedure. A forty-one-year-old man had cerebral angiography, then felt dizzy with blurred vision. Within hours he grew agitated and weak in the limbs, and by the next day he had lost movement and feeling in all four limbs.
In their 2023 case report, scans ruled out stroke and bleeding but showed artery spasm, and a later scan lit up the upper spinal cord. The brain symptoms faded fast, pointing to contrast effects there too. The authors pair the case with a literature review of this uncommon harm, which can end in paralysis or death even with modern nonionic dyes.
