J Neurol. 1987 Apr;234(3):177-9. doi: 10.1007/BF00314139.

Abstract

The case is presented of a patient showing multiple subcortical haemorrhages after lumbar metrizamide myelography. This complication after intrathecally administered metrizamide contrast medium appears not to have been reported before. Several different possible explanations are proposed for the phenomena observed in this case.
