“…TGA after cardiac catheterization has been reported in the literature. 7 ' 9 Mechanisms proposed in these cases included thromboembolic phenomena, 7 intracranial spasm secondary to the contrast material, 8 and hypersensitivity of hippocampal cells to external stress. 9 MRI studies were either not done 78 or did not find lesions in any of the cases (n=2) in which MRI was performed.…”

The presence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities in patients with transient global amnesia has been an interesting phenomenologic finding. Several theories surround the occurrence of this syndrome, but little is known about its true physiopathology. We present a case of transient global amnesia after cardiac catheterization associated with migraine headache and MRI changes compatible with an ischemic insult. A discussion on potential explanations for this finding is made, as well as a review of the pertinent literature.

“…The reported major bleeding after cardiac catheterization is 2.7%. 7 The most commonly associated reversible neurologic complication after cardiac catheterization is global amnesia or cortical blindness for adults, 8 , 9 and seizure or hemiplegia for children. 10 , 11 Contrast retention within the brain parenchyma after cardiac catheterization, likely secondary to blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption, can mimic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) on brain computed tomography (CT) scan 12 and thus present as a diagnostic dilemma.…”

Background:We report a diagnostic dilemma in a rare case of cerebral contrast retention after difficult cardiac catheterization in an elderly patient loaded with prasugrel.Summary:Our case report describes a 77-year-old female with history of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia who presented to emergency department complaining of chest pain. Patient was found to have an inferior wall ST elevation myocardial infarction. The patient was loaded with aspirin and prasugrel and taken for emergent cardiac catheterization. Cardiac catheterization revealed two-vessel coronary artery disease with unsuccessful attempt of percutaneous intervention. Immediately after procedure, patient developed an episode of seizure. Emergent computed tomography scan of the brain revealed hyperdensity in the right frontoparietal region consistent with intracerebral bleed. Repeat computed tomography (24 h later) revealed substantial interval improvement of hyperdensity. Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging of the head was normal. Given the lack of magnetic resonance imaging changes, the rate of resolution on computed tomography without expected subacute changes, and the lack of neurologic findings, the initial hyperdensity seen on computed tomography of the brain was believed to be secondary to contrast leakage during cardiac catheterization as opposed to intracranial hemorrhage.

Transient global amnesia after coronary angiography

Abstract: Summary:A 69-year-old woman suffered transient global amnesia as a complication following coronary angiography. Three reports have been described earlier. The etiology of this condition is discussed. Possibly, this complication is overlooked in some cases.
