Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Lymphography is an imaging technique used in staging Hodgkin's disease.
  • Neurological complications following lymphography are rare but can be severe.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old male with Hodgkin's disease developed acute confusional state and choreatic movements post-lymphography.
  • Cerebral CT revealed high density in the caudate nuclei and cortex.

Findings:

  • The patient fully recovered within two weeks, with normalization of CT findings.
  • No evidence of a right-to-left shunt was detected, ruling out common paradoxical embolism causes.

Implications:

  • This case highlights potential neurological complications of lymphography, possibly due to contrast media effects.
