Esotropia: unusual complication of myelography and pneumoencephalography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myelography and pneumoencephalography are invasive procedures with many complications. We report two cases of esotropia that developed 8 and 7 days after a Pantopaque myelogram and a pneumoencephalogram, respectively . Fortunately , the esotropia was temporary in both cases. This rare complication, of which very few radiologists are aware, was presumably secondary to the lumbar puncture performed for the procedure.
