%X we describe the case of a 39 years old female patient, with history of allergic rhinitis and depression who came to the emergency room with a vertiginous episode, which was treated with intravenous thiethylperazine. computed tomography of the brain showed evidence of sellar, parasellar, cavernous sinus and orbitary gas, with the interpretation of this being a complication from the emergency room intravenous treatment. the patient was managed by conservative means and remained asymptomatic in controls, with a complete resolution of the vertiginous episode as well. this case illustrates a difficult to diagnose and potentially serious complication, in the management of a patient with any intravenous drugs.
