Abstract

Increased permeability or 'breakdown' of the blood-brain barrier following the carotid injection of various contrast media has been previously documented. Transient opening of the blood-brain barrier may also be produced by injecting hyperosmotic mannitol or arabinose into the internal carotid artery. CT scanning has recently been applied to the definition and quantitation of this barrier breakdown. This case report of a 43-year-old woman documents, with cranial computed tomography (CT), disruption of the blood-brain barrier after the intracarotid injection of a hyperosmotic iodinated contrast media.
