    Summary

    A 28-year-old experienced a generalized papular skin rash hours after lumbar myelography. This non-allergic reaction to intrathecal iohexol resolved completely within 16 days.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Lumbar myelography is an imaging procedure used to visualize the spinal cord and surrounding structures.
    • Iohexol is a non-ionic, low-osmolar contrast medium commonly used in myelography.
    • Adverse reactions to intrathecal contrast agents can occur, necessitating careful monitoring.

    Observation:

    • A 28-year-old male developed a papular skin rash six hours post-lumbar myelography.
    • The rash rapidly generalized over the following 36 hours.
    • Complete resolution of the skin rash was observed within 16 days.

    Findings:

    • The observed skin rash is interpreted as a non-allergic adverse reaction.
    • The reaction is specifically attributed to intrathecal iohexol administration.
    • The temporal relationship suggests a direct, albeit non-immunological, response to the contrast agent.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential, non-allergic cutaneous adverse event associated with intrathecal iohexol.
    • Understanding such reactions is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.
    • Further investigation may be warranted to elucidate the precise mechanism of this iohexol-induced dermatological response.
