Abstract

Coiling of intracranial aneurysms is a generally safe treatment. However, despite increasing clinical experience and technological improvements, endovascular treatment still has inherent risks of morbidity and mortality. Recently, we have experienced two cases of delayed complications that developed after uneventful coil embolization of unruptured aneurysms.
