Contrast extravasation

Discussion:

This radiograph demonstrated contrast filling the soft tissues of the arm, from an extravasated cannula in the antecubital fossa. Clincially, there was marked swelling of the forearm, with blistering in the antecubital fossa.

This was sugically explored and washed out, with no long-term sequelae.

Unsurprisingly, the patient was not keen on any further investigations for the original complaint.
