Gadolinium Encephalopathy in a Patient with Renal Failure
Neurol 64:1276-1278, Maramattom,B.V.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Gadolinium chelates are extensively used in MRI studies. Neurotoxicity due to gadolinium chelates is minimal and uncommon. A 57-year-old woman in renal failure developed a subacute encephalopathy after inadvertent repetitive gadolinium contrast administration. An unusual MRI appearance with CSF hyperintensity due to gadolinium diffusion into the CSF is also shown.
