Contrast-induced seizures after cardiac catheterization in a 6-year-old child / V. Sansone, L. Piazza, G. Bufera, G. Meola, A. Fontana. - In: PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGY. - ISSN 0887-8994. - 36:4(2007), pp. 268-270.
Abstract:
Neurologic complications of cardiac catheterization
are usually embolic events resulting in stroke or seizures
of vascular origin. Contrast-induced seizures
have been rarely described in children. This report
presents clinical, neuroimaging, and follow-up data of
a 6-year-old female subjected to cardiac catheterization
for aortic coarctation who developed contrastinduced
generalized seizures. Although rare, this condition
adds to the neurologic complications of cardiac
catheterization in children and should be considered in
the differential diagnosis of seizures of vascular origin
with obvious therapeutic and prognostic implications.
