Abstract

The investigation of intracranial aneurysms is a dynamic and exciting area in neuroradiology. It requires a close working relationship and frequent consultation between the neurosurgeon and neuroradiologist, for many critical decisions must be made during the diagnostic evaluation. Many patients having intracranial aneurysms present with subarachnoid hemorrhage and arrive at the hospital with varying levels of consciousness and other neurologic deficits. After documenting a subarachnoid hemorrhage with computed tomography (CT) and/or lumbar puncture, appropriate timing of the arteriogram must be considered. During the arteriogram many decisions must be made. When does one proceed in the presence of arterial spasm? Is the aneurysm adequately imaged for surgical clipping? What additional views are necessary? Complete information about the aneurysm and adjacent vessels reduces the surgical risk.
