Summary
Myelography complications are typically minor. However, this case report details a rare instance of temporary sixth nerve palsy following the procedure, lasting several months.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
Background:
- Myelography is an imaging procedure used to visualize the spinal canal.
- Complications from myelography are generally infrequent and mild.
Observation:
- A patient developed sixth nerve palsy after undergoing myelography.
Findings:
- The sixth nerve palsy resulted in temporary disability lasting a few months.
- The study explores potential causes and mechanisms of this rare complication.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of recognizing and managing rare neurological complications post-myelography.
- Contributes to understanding the pathogenesis of cranial nerve palsies following contrast media procedures.
