Abstrakt: A 74-year-old female patient presented at the emergency department with a swollen upper arm after a CT-scan. X-ray showed extensive extravasation with iodinated contrast media. Extravasations of high volume or high osmolality can lead to severe tissue damage. Early recognition and treatment is important, since it could prevent further injury.
