Popis: Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare complication that arises from exposure to iodinated contrast medium and can result in a range of symptoms, including cortical blindness, aphasia, focal neurological deficits, and altered mental status. We present 4 individual cases of CIE who presented with stroke-mimic symptoms following surgery with localized iodixanol or ioversol injection. We outline a clinical timeline of all patients, showing that CIE follows a general pattern of delayed onset, worsening symptomology, and ultimately full recovery. All patients received IV hydration, corticosteroids, or both as part of their treatment protocol.
