[Spinal myoclonus secondary to the intravenous administration of iodine contrast media].
We describe a patient with a longstanding paraplegia who developed spinal myoclonus on 3 different occasions spanning one year, once after an enhanced CT scan and twice after excretory urographies, one of which was also followed by a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. To our knowledge only one case of spinal myoclonus secondary to the administration of intravenous contrast material in a patient with a spinal arteriovenous malformation has yet been reported. Taken together, the findings in these cases suggest that spinal myoclonus following intravenous iodine administration is indicative of an underlying spinal cord lesion.
