Abstract
Endovascular coiling is a well established technique for the treatment of s elected intracranial aneurysms, but its long-term efficacy, including the r ate of rehaemorrhage from treated lesions, remains to be clearly determined . We report a case in which the rerupture of a small aneurysm occurred 12 m onths after embolization, despite angiographic occlusion on immediate post- procedural and 6-month check angiography.
