Image 1.
This is a brain CAT scan image. The yellow arrows point
to two aneurysms. |
 |
Image 2. This
is also a brain CAT scan image. The yellow arrow points
to a ruptured giant brain aneurysm with some clot (thrombus)
within the main aneurysmal sac. The green arrow heads
point to blood in the subarachnoid space. This image
therefore shows aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). |
 |
Image 3. This
is a brain magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA). The image
is a "scout" image of the Circle of Willis
at the base of the brain. The yellow arrows point to
6 different brain aneurysms. |
 |
Image 4. This
is a formal cerebral angiogram image. This particular
projection shows part of the roadmap of the brain arteries,
and happens to also show multiple brain aneurysms (yellow
arrows). One of the aneurysms has an irregular "daughter
sac" (DS) coming off its dome. |
 |
Image 5. This
shows a pair of intraoperative photographs. The photograph
on the left shows an aneurysm (circled by a dotted line),
with a daughter sac (smaller solid circle). It is the
same daughter sac-bearing aneurysm shown in Image 4.
In the photograph on the right, an aneurysm clip (black
arrow) is being deployed around the neck of the aneurysm
to completely obliterate the aneurysm. In both of these
images, the yellow arrow points to the parent artery
from which the aneurysm arose, and the green arrowhead
points to a branch coming off the vessel a short distance
from (i.e., distal to) the aneurysm's neck. |
 |
Image 6. This
a cerebral angiogram of the posterior circulation showing
a basilar artery apex (or basilar caput) aneurysm (green
arrowhead) |
 |
Image 7. The same
aneurysm shown in Image 6 has now undergone endovascular
coiling. The arrow head points to the coiled aneurysm,
packed with ultrafine aneurysm coils. This aneurysm
has been completely obliterated by the coiling procedure. |
