Abstract

Arterial embolism is a potential complication of coronary angiography and could theoretically affect the lingual circulation. However, the transient nature of clinical signs and symptoms suggests vasospasm as the most likely underlying mechanism of lingual ischemia in our case.

Keywords: acute tongue ischemia; angiography; cardiac imaging.
