Early cerebral hypoperfusion with small artery vasospasm and delayed development of cortical T2* hypointense lesions in contrast-induced encephalopathy
Early transient small artery vasospasms and hypoperfusion on neuroimaging are indicative of CIE and likely contribute to the neurological symptoms of this condition. Persistent blood-brain barrier dysfunction may underlie the delayed development of cortical hypointensities on T2*WI, seen in chronic-stage CIE cases.
