- Abstract
Radiocontrast media (RCM) is used commonly in clinical practice, and can be associated with significant adverse effects. Since non-ionic RCM's have been introduced to radiological investigation, the incidence of adverse reactions has been significantly reduced in comparison to ionic compounds. However, acute anaphylactoid reactions with heterogeneous symptoms within minutes after intravenous administration of RCM are still a life-threatening risk of investigations with RCM. We report a patient who underwent two anaphylactic reactions (acute and delayed) after intravenous administration of RCM.
