Delayed middle cerebral artery occlusion following endovascular coiling of carotid terminus aneurysm

Endovascular coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms is a relatively safe and effective alternative to traditional clip ligation. While bare platinum coils have long been used with good success, newer bioactive coils have been developed since approximately 2002 in an attempt to improve occlusion rates. Although unexpected complications such as aseptic meningitis, seizures, new-onset headaches, hydrocephalus, cranial nerve palsies and …
