I'll get this started with an interesting one. It's been a while, so I don't recall the specifics but here's the gist:
Patient was on the medicine service and had a pulmonary empyema. IR was consulted and placed a pigtail catheter. We get called days later for paraparesis. The patient can't get an MRI, but ct-myelogram reveals the pigtail is somehow entering through a throracic foramen and traverses the spinal cord.
