title: Acute intracranial subdural haematoma resulting from lumbar myelography.
abstract: We report a case of acute intracranial subdural haematoma after lumbar myelography with Iopamidol. The haematoma was successfully treated by emergency craniotomy. The bleeding came from cortical bridging veins as confirmed by surgery. This rare complication should be suspected in patients who complain of prolonged headache or develop a neurological deficit after myelography.
