title: [A major complication of hysterosalpingography].
abstract: The authors report in detail the observation of a patient who presented with urticaria and anaphylactic shock during hysterosalpingography. A review of the literature analyzing different accidents and incidents related to this examination, showed the rarity of such reactions. The authors insist, once more, on the necessity of always having the adequate material and drugs for early intensive treatment. These should be at hand whenever investigation with iodine contrast products are used, whatever the route of administration.
