Transient acute renal failure and functional hemispheric depression after cerebral arteriography in diabetic patients

Acta Neurol Scand. 1981 Dec;64(6):460-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0404.1981.tb04424.x.

Abstract

Cerebral angiography was carried out in two diabetic patients in the evaluation of minor vascular ischemic episodes. A transient acute renal failure following cerebral angiography was accompanied by a transient comatose episode with severe unilateral neurological deficits. A functional depression of the injected hemisphere due to a contrast induced impairment of the blood-brain barrier is suggested as the pathophysiological background of the neurological complication.
