Electroencephalography (EEG) after introduction of water soluble contrast media into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

  • Published:
Acta Neurochirurgica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Thirty-six patients undergoing Dimer X or Amipaque ventriculography or myelography underwent electroencephalographic investigations. In most cases EEG alterations were found. They ranged from general slowing to seizure potentials. These findings and their causes are discussed.
