Abstract

Acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (NCPE) following intravenous administration of contrast media is a rare but life-threatening complication of radiologic contrast material. We recently observed this complication as an idiosyncratic reaction following a coelio-mesenteric arteriography.
