Iodide mumps after contrast media imaging: a rare adverse effect to iodine.

BACKGROUND: Exposure to iodinated contrast media may elicit a variety of adverse reactions. Anaphylactoid and delayed cell-mediated unwanted effects are common; rare adverse reactions include iodine-related sialadenopathy, iododerma, and acneiform eruptions.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the occurrence of iodide mumps in a patient examined using contrast-enhanced computed tomography and to outline differential diagnoses.

METHODS: A detailed diagnostic approach, including histologic analysis, skin tests, controlled reexposure, efficacy of premedication, and imaging studies, is presented. The findings unique to this reaction and differential diagnoses are highlighted.

RESULTS: While undergoing repeated contrast-enhanced computed tomography a patient developed recurrent swellings of the sublingual glands, identified as iodide mumps. These swellings resolved within a few days. Imaging studies and histologic analysis showed distinct patterns without inflammation. The important role of iodine in this adverse reaction is demonstrated.

CONCLUSIONS: Iodine from iodinated contrast media may rarely elicit noninflammatory edema of the salivary glands. The reaction should be differentiated from other swellings in the head and neck area.
