| Popis: | Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare complication of angiography. According to our knowledge, the majority of CIE reports is imaging observations and rarely includes results of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests. Furthermore, among the cases reporting the data for CSF testing, most of the results were normal. Here, we report a case of CIE presenting with significantly elevated levels of CSF protein. We found that the course of improvement in brain imaging findings was not consistent with the severity of clinical manifestations. The diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) sequences were normal. Considering the lack of convenient direct indicators to observe blood-brain barrier (BBB) function, changes in the levels of CSF protein may be related to BBB permeability and recovery and may serve as a potential prognostic marker. |
