Angiographic extravasation of contrast medium in acute traumatic subdural hematoma from arterial rupture

Abstract

✓ Carotid angiography of a patient with suspected subdural hematoma showed extravasation of the contrast medium from an ascending branch of the middle cerebral artery. The leak was verified at operation. There was no visual evidence of an aneurysm, angioma, subarachnoid or subpial hemorrhage.
