Ioglunide: a new nonionic contrast medium for myelography and cisternography with reduced neurotoxicity

RE Gonsette and L Liesenborghs

Ioglunide, a new nonionic contrast medium, has attracted attention by its virtual absence of immediate or delayed effect on brain electrical activity in animal studies. After 126 myelographies or cisternographies with ioglunide, routine electroencephalograms (EEG) and brain potential frequency analyses were performed in 109 and 73 patients, respectively. EEG changes were noted in 3.7% of subjects. Moderate meningeal signs were present in 16% of subjects. No severe adverse reactions (psychoorganic syndrome, asterixis, or hallucination) were observed. Ioglunide appears to represent a marked advance in neuroradiology in providing for the comfort of patients and the safety of the radiological procedures.
