Abstract
A patient is presented in whom iophendylate (Pantopaque) within the ba sal cisterns closely resembled the appearance on MRI of thrombosed ane urysms of the middle cerebral arteries. The sometimes subtle differenc es between the appearances on MRI of Pantopaque and aneurysmal clot ar e discussed to permit accurate diagnosis without resorting to more inv asive diagnostic tests, such as cerebral angiography.
