title: [Generalized brain edema and cerebral infarct in ergotamine abuse: imaging by computerized tomography, magnetic resonance tomography and angiography].
abstract: Abuse of ergotamine can release a generalised brain edema and brain infarctions. This can be visualized by CT, MR and angiography. The reason, however, can only be found in the patients history.
