ABSTRACT
A contrast media is essential for the diagnostic accuracy of vascular structure or soft tissue imaging study. The incidence of extravasation of contrast media is very low (0.03% to 0.17%), but higher (0.25% to 0.9%) when using mechanical infuser. We report a case of 64-year-old female patient suffered from acute compartment syndrome, such as pain, skin discoloration in forearm and limitation of finger movement associated with extravasation of contrast media during the coronary angio-computed tomography.
