Abstract

Sialadenitis is an uncommon complication of intravenous administration of iodinated contrast medium. We present two cases of iodide‐induced sialadenitis following coronary angiography. Clinical features and clues to differentiation from suppurative sialadenitis are discussed. The mechanism for aseptic iodide‐induced sialadenitis remains unclear, but prognosis with conservative treatment is apparently good. Sialadenitis may recur with subsequent administration of contrast medium. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;57:50–53. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
