Iodide mumps after intravascular administration of a nonionic contrast medium. Case report and review of the literature.
Swelling of the submandibular, sublingual and/or parotid glands ("iodide mumps") is an uncommon complication to intravascular administration of contrast material. The etiology remains unclear, but the reaction seems to be idiosyncratic or related to toxic accumulation of iodide in the ductal systems of the salivary glands. The introduction of nonionic contrast media has not eliminated the risk of developing iodide mumps. The first reported case of iodide mumps after intravascular administration of iopromide (Ultravist 300) is presented.
