Rupture of a cerebral aneurysm during embolization for a cerebral arteriovenous malformation.
An aneurysm ruptured during superselective catheterization into the posterior cerebral artery for a left temporal arteriovenous malformation. The rupture may have been caused by stretching and displacement of the basilar and posterior cerebral arteries while the microcatheter with guide wire was advanced.
