Abstract

With a ruptured intracranial aneurysm producing subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) cerebral angiography is currently used for identification of the affected vessel. Aneurysm rerupturing is one of the more serious complications of cerebral angiography and has been frequently described. We report a 61-year-old man who presented with SAH who had rerupture of a large aneurysm of the internal carotid artery during angiography. A substantial amount of contrast medium escaped via a ventricular drain. The three main risk factors for rerupture of an aneurysm are: angiography performed within 6 h of the primary SAH, an aneurysm on the internal carotid artery and an unfavourable Glasgow coma score.
