Abstract

Cerebral angiography with contrast medium (CM) is a key method for diagnosis and interventional treatment of intracranial cerebral vascular lesions. Cerebral angiography causes few neurologic complications. There have been rare reports of complications related to disruption of the blood-brain barrier due to the administration of nonionic CM. We observed two patients with transient neurologic complications following cerebral angiography and coil embolization for unruptured aneurysm.
