title: Rupture of aneurysms during angiography. Report of two cases and review of the literature.
abstract: Two cases of rupture of intracranial aneurysms with contrast extravasation during angiography are reported. One was an aneurysm of the internal carotid bifurcation and the other a carotid posterior communicating aneurysm. The previously reported cases are analysed and the pathogenetic mechanisms thought to underlie the phenomenon discussed. The prognosis is anyway very poor.
