Abstract
A young man developed intracranial hypertension immediately after myel ography with non-ionic water-soluble contrast medium (iopamidol). Cere bral angiography showed extensive cerebral venous thrombosis. The comm on causes of thrombophlebitis were excluded. A relationship to the con trast medium was strongly suspected, since a similar case has been rep orted. The rheological properties and haemoconcentration induced by io pamidol could explain this complication.
