Fig 1. A, Internal carotid angiogram demonstrates near-complete coil embolization of a large anterior communicating artery aneurysm. Follow-up short TE MRA was performed with MPR and MIP postprocessing. B, An image from the coronal MPR demonstrates a large recurrence (arrow) within the central aspect of the coil mass. A black signal-intensity void is distributed about the periphery of this central recanalization, indicative of the displaced and compacted coil mass that is now draped around the periphery of the recanalized pocket of central flow. Signal-intensity voids running though the central area of flow-related enhancement correspond to individual coil strands that bridge the recanalization. C, Correlative follow-up right internal carotid angiogram in a projection performed to replicate the coronal MPR confirms the large central recanalization with the coil mass displaced into the periphery of the fundus and a few individual coil strands bridging the recurrent aneurysm.
