Abstract:
Niopam is a newer, nonionic, watersoluble contrast medium used predominately in cisternographic and myelographic studies with metrizamide lately. The former has fewer, less severe and shorter adverse reactions than the latter. Until now there were no reports on meningitis complicating Niopam CT cisternography or myelography. Now we present a case of aseptic purulent meningitis complicating Niopam CT cisternography.
