Key result
A patient experienced persistent cauda equina syndrome following bilateral aortoiliac dissection as a rare complication of cardiac angiography.
Case Report (n=1)
This report describes a previously undocumented complication of cardiac angiography: cauda equina syndrome resulting from bilateral aortoiliac dissection.
May warrant vigilance for cauda equina syndrome after aortoiliac dissection in angiography; leaves open incidence and risk factors.
Cardiac angiography is accepted as an invasive yet safe procedure with well-characterized complications. We present a complication heretofore not described to our knowledge, in which a patient experienced the cauda equina syndrome following bilateral aortoiliac dissection during cardiac angiography. Similarities are noted between this complication and those documented in abdominal aortic aneurysm repair surgery.

Verneuil et al. (1997) conducted a case report in Cauda equina syndrome following bilateral aortoiliac dissection (n=1). Cardiac angiography was evaluated on Cauda equina syndrome. A patient experienced persistent cauda equina syndrome following bilateral aortoiliac dissection as a rare complication of cardiac angiography.
