Abstract

Improvements in techniques, contrast agents, and catheter design have significantly decreased angiography-related neurological deficits and complications. This article reports a case involving an angiographic total obliteration arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in a patient with an acute infarction in the artery of Percheron (AOP) distribution following angiography. Furthermore, imaging of an AOP acute infarction in cerebral angiography is presented.
