Large subdural effusions after angiography mimicking acute subdural hematoma

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2010 Mar-Apr;34(2):249-50. doi: 10.1097/RCT.0b013e3181c6e704.

Abstract

Contrast enhancement of the brain parenchyma and ventricular and subarachnoidal contrast extravasation are known to be rare complications after intra-arterial angiography. We here describe the first case of extensive contrast extravasation into the subdural space after percutaneous coronary intervention.
