Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare neurological complication that occurs after the use of contrast medium in various angiographic procedures. Symptoms can be different, from headache to severe neurological deficit and coma. In the articles published to date, symptoms appeared immediately after application of contrast agent or within 24 hours. Here we present two cases of patients in whom CIE developed delayed after endovascular treatment.
