title: [Epilepsy following cisternography with water-soluble contrast (author's transl)].
abstract: A case of epilepsy is reported during ventriculography with hydrosoluble triiodate contrast (methylglutamine iotalamate). The cysternal interhemispheric cavities of the midline were flooded. This complication, which could have been lethal was treated with thiopental sodium salt, 6 methylprednisolone, mannitol, curare, trans-larynx intubation, ventilation with oxygen and nitrous oxide. The AA. conclude that the presence of an anaesthetist-resuscitator is essential during ventriculography with triiodate hydrosoluble contrast medium.
