ABSTRACT
Extravasation of contrast media into subcutaneous tissue is a relatively frequent complication. Although most patients complain of initial swelling, tightness, and burning pain at the site of extravasation, some experience little or no discomfort. In most cases, conservative management is recommended. However, severe injury after extravasation of contrast media have been reported, including skin ulceration, tissue necrosis, and compartment syndrome, in which cases surgical intervention should be considered. We report a case of a 53-year-old man who had severe localized reaction due to extravasation of contrast media for a follow-up brain CT scan after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
