Contrast-Induced Encephalopathy Presenting With Fever After Coronary Angiography: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT

Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare complication that occurs after exposure to contrast media, and it usually manifests with transient neurological deficits that include cortical blindness, altered mental status, and paralysis. It is self-limited, and symptoms usually resolve within 48-72 hours. It requires a high index of suspicion and must be taken into consideration in every patient developing a neurological manifestation after the administration of radiocontrast media. We report a case of post-coronary angiography contrast-induced encephalopathy with low-grade fever and negative imaging.
