T2 Star weighted MR angiography (SWAN) showed microbleeds in the left white matter, indicating endothelial damage and blood brain barrier disruption. Perfusion-MRI showed no area of decreased CBF. After procedure,peri- aneurysmal edema gradually remissions Purpose : Post embolization high intensity signal areas in FLAIR MRI images (HISA) are infrequent. Pathogenesis of HISA that appeared following endovascular treatment was poorly understood. In this presentation,we demonstrated 6 cases of cerebral lesion after coil embolization, and the mechanism of lesion appearance was discussed. Case 74 y.o. Female Case3 58 y.o. Female Case2 78 y.o.

MMSE 25/30. The cerebrospinal fluid exhibited a protein level at 46 mg/dL. The mechanism of blood brain barrier disruption could be explained with contrast agents causing endothelial cell shrinkage and opening of tight junctions. In the territory of the artery disrupted blood brain barrier, white matter exposure to allergen. At that time, we think T-cell activation is induced, and allergens of each cases induced an ADEM-like reaction with a T cell–mediated autoimmune process. The CSF results lend further credence to this hypothesis. The unilateral involvement could be explained by the fact that the BBB disruption was limited to areas of higher and more intense contact with contrast agents. In case4, platinum or Iohexol are predicted as allergen. And in case5, nickel, involved the stent used for coil embolization assist, is predicted as allergen by patch testing, not platinum, because this symptom was’nt found at Postoperative CT: Case6 63 y.o.

Craven, I., et al. AJNR 30.10 (2009): 1998-2000. The development of postembolization perianeurysmal edema has been reported infrequently. The edema is likely to develop around partially thrombosed aneurysms as well as large or giant aneurysms. In our cases, case1 and 2 were large aneurysm, and case 3 is partially thrombosed aneurysms. A signi cant proportion of patients who develop postembolization perianeurysmal edema are most likely asymptomatic, as well as our 3 cases. Pulsatile blood flow, hemorrhaging within the aneurysm wall, the inflammatory process, and endothelial growth factor in the aneurysm wall have also been proposed as factors that may play a role in the development of such edema. Especially, the pulsatile blood flow when striking the coils may result in a regrowth of the aneurysm and may also be transmitted to the aneurysm wall via the coils, thus leading to the perianeurysmal edema. It is reported that perianeurysmal edema is associated with aneurysm recanalization and regrowth. In our all 3 cases, coil compaction was found. In case1, and 2 , aneurysm recanalization was found, and in case3, aneurysm regrowth was found,too. Treatment options for perianeurysmal edema may include conservative management in asymptomatic patients, the use of steroids and other anti-edematous medications in symptomatic patients. Because the edema is associated with recanalization and regrowth, further embolization or neck clipping were performed frequently. In our cases, we performed re-embolization. In case 1,and 2, after procedure, MRI showed remission of perianeurysmal edema, but in case 3, remission was transient.
