Abstract
Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) is a syndrome that consists of facial flushing, excessive sweating, nasal congestion, throbbing headache and paroxysmal hypertension which may occur in response to bladder distension in patients with spinal cord lesions above the T6 level. We report the case of a C2 quadriplegic patient who developed clinical features of AD along with cortical blindness and seizures after administration of meglumine (Hypaque) for diagnostic cystogram.
