Lumbar myelography is still frequently used in cases of suspected lumbar radiculopathy. Since 1984, iohexol has been the contrast medium of choice in myelography, and so far only a few cases of chemical meningitis have been reported. ⋯ We describe two patients who developed meningitis following myelography with iohexol. In one of the patients, the cerebrospinal fluid culture was positive with subsequent identification of Flavobacterium meningosepticum, a species not previously reported as an infectious agent in meningitis after myelography.
