  • Title: Oculomotor nerve palsy due to thrombosis of a posterior communicating artery aneurysm following diagnostic angiography.
    Author: Griffiths PD, Gholkar A, Sengupta RP.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1994 Nov; 36(8):614-5. PubMed ID: 7862277.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient who developed a painful third nerve galsy two days after angiography had demonstrated a large aneurysm on the P1 segment of the left posterior cerebral artery. CT at this stage demonstrated extensive thrombus within the previously uncomplicated aneurysm. The haemodynamics of this aneurysm resulted in incomplete clearance of contrast medium from its fundus and we posit that this may have promoted thrombus formation. Six months later the aneurysm was shown angiographically to be completely occluded.
