چکیده
We report a case of a life-threatening anaphylactoid reaction to gadoteridol. The reaction resulted in hospitalization but did respond to medical treatment. Resuscitation equipment and properly trained personnel should be available if these agents are being administered.

Incidence of immediate gadolinium contrast media reactions.
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine the incidence of immediate adverse events for gadolinium-based contrast agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS All gadolinium-based contrast agent adverse events reported to radiology quality assurance committees were graded according to American College of Radiology criteria and divided by the total number of injections to determine incidence during the past 1...
متن کاملEnhancement of intervertebral disks with gadolinium complexes: comparison of an ionic and a nonionic medium in an animal model.
PURPOSE To compare MR contrast enhancement of intervertebral disk tissue after intravenous administration of equimolar doses of an ionic and of a nonionic gadolinium complex. METHODS Contrast enhancement was measured on MR in lumbar intervertebral disks for 120 minutes after intravenous injection of gadoteridol or gadopentetate dimeglumine, 0.3 mmol/kg. MR studies were performed with each con...
متن کاملGeneralized seizure after i.v. administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine.
Since its approval by the Food and Drug Administration , the use of gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist; Berlex Laboratories, Wayne, NJ) for contrast-enhanced MR imaging has increased rapidly. To date, few reports of adverse anaphylactoid reactions related to use of this agent have been published (1 , 2] . Following is a report of a case of generalized seizure after IV administration of gadope...
متن کاملRisk for nephrogenic systemic fibrosis with gadoteridol (ProHance) in patients who are on long-term hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Recent studies strongly link nephrogenic systemic fibrosis to gadolinium administration for magnetic resonance imaging. In a recent advisory, the Food and Drug Administration stated that all gadolinium-containing chelates are potentially associated with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis; however, most reported cases are linked to gadodiamide (Omniscan) and gadopentetate di...
متن کاملMeasurement of cerebral blood volume via the relaxing effect of low-dose gadopentetate dimeglumine during bolus transit.
PURPOSE To quantify regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) on the basis of the enhancement of blood proton relaxation rates after intravenous administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine. METHODS A series of sequential MR images on one section was recorded during bolus transit with a standard fast low-angle shot sequence. The signal-intensity curves were converted into corresponding concentrati...
