This is a report of a case of a serious side effect following lumbar radiculography with the water soluble contrast medium Iopamidol. The complication consisted of a generalized seizure after an episode of myoclonic jerking of the legs. This was the first complication in a series of 1070 lumbar and cervical myelograms with this medium.
