Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in contrast media extravasation injury. However, definite guidelines for the treatment of the injury have not yet been established, although it causes severe complications such as compartment syndrome, skin necrosis etc. We try to introduce conservative management with a thorough review of the relevant literatures about successful treatment and functional restoration from contrast media extravasation injury without any complications.
