ABSTRACT
Meningeal irritation signs sometimes develop after myelography due to bacterial infection by contamination during the procedure or chemical irritiation by contrast media itself. CSF profiles of chemical meningitis often mimick those of bacterial meningitis, sometimes causing difficulty in differentiation, but in that case clinical course soon reverse in short time without any complication. Postmyelography chemical meningitis by metrizamide (AmipaqueR) has been well described but iohexol (OmnipaqueR) has rarely been reported to cause chemical meningitis. We experienced a patient of chemical meningitis by iohexol and here descibe the case.
