Radiographic identification of vicarious excretion of intravenous contrast into the stomach has not previously been cited in the literature. We report here an instance of gastric excretion of iodinated intravenous contrast following excretory urography in a severely burned patient. The physiology and possible pathways of vicarious excretion of contrast are discussed.
