Özet

Contrast media use is an integral part of invasive procedures, mainly radiodiagnostic procedures, performed for diagnosis and treatment in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. There are many complications related to contrast agents after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Contrast-induced neurotoxicity is a rarely reported complication that may result with encephalopathy. In this report, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a rare consequence of neurotoxicity of iodinated contrast agents with acute onset, reversible with early diagnosis and treatment, and diagnosed by neurologic examination radiological imaging methods, will be mentioned.
