title: Large subdural effusions after angiography mimicking acute subdural hematoma.
abstract: Contrast enhancement of the brain parenchyma and ventricular and subarachnoidal contrast extravasation are known to be rare complications after intra-arterial angiography. We here describe the first case of extensive contrast extravasation into the subdural space after percutaneous coronary intervention.
