    Notes: Summary Equimolar doses of iohexol and metrizamide (0.48 mmol/kg body weight = 185 mg I/kg), administered in solutions iso- and hyperosmolar to the CSF, were injected subarachnoidally into rabbits under pentobarbital anaesthesia. No excitative effects of iohexol were observed in the behaviour of the rabbits during a 3-h period immediately after the injection. Metrizamide caused significant, severe excitative effects, ranging from hyperexcitability to repeated generalized seizures. The frequency and severity of excitative effects were independent of the osmolality of the metrizamide solutions injected.

    Notes: Summary Differences in frequency of postmyelographic adverse reactions were analyzed with respect to sex and age in a prospective study including 1026 patients injected with metrizamide and 739 injected with iohexol. Regardless of the type of contrast medium or myelography, all types of adverse reactions were 1.4–3.8 times as frequent in women as in men. Most of the differences were statistically significant. Headache was more frequent, while vomiting and dizziness were less frequent in both women and men aged 26–50 years compared with those over 50 years of age. Dizziness and increased low back pain were consistently reported spontaneously by the patients less frequently than emerged via formal interview. The large differences between the sexes suggest that further research on contrast media toxicity would be best performed with separation of the data by gender.
