Abstract

We present the case of a patient with acute onset of headache who showed a flow-related acutely ruptured aneurysm on the feeding artery of an AVM in the angiogram. Rerupture of the aneurysm occurred during angiography after endovascular treatment with a Guglielmi detachable coil. The possible mechanisms leading to rupture of the aneurysm are discussed.
