Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe method that has been applied for many years in medical treatment-resistant depression treatment. In this case report, contrast extravasation due to deterioration of the blood-brain barrier after ECT mimicking subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is discussed. CASE DESCRIPTION:A 70-year-old male patient who underwent ECT presented with sulcal hyperintensities suggesting subarachnoid hemorrhage on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence of MRI obtained after ECT. However, there was no evidence to suggest SAH on nonenhanced brain computed tomography. CONCLUSION:It should be kept in mind that patients may have contrast extravasation due to deterioration of the blood-brain barrier after ECT, and other alternative methods should be used for the diagnosis of SAH in these patients, not MRI.
