Abstract

The use of radio-contrast agents are increasing day by day in modern imaging modalities. But they are not completely risk free. Among others, contrast-induced encephalopathy is a rare adverse effect. We report a patient with end-stage renal disease developing contrast induced encephalopathy following coronary angiogram (CAG).
