Abstract
Three seconds after 0.08 g of Naftidrofuryl administered through the right carotid artery during an operation for carotid stenosis a right temporal sharp wave discharge occurred followed by diffuse polyspike activity occurring every 3to4 seconds with concomitant myoclonus. Rare episodes of this type are recorded in the literature when it has been used in neuroradiology. The authors state this agent should be forbidden by intracarotid injection.
