| Popis: | Contra-indications to iodinated contrast media injection are well-known and include patients with sensitivity to iodinated contrast medium, renal insufficiency, pregnancy, breastfeeding, diabetes mellitus treated by biguanides, and patients on beta-blockers1,2. When a digital subtracted angiography (DSA) is required in such patients, Gadolinium chelates have been successfully proposed as alternative contrast agents 3-12. Cerebral 3D-DSA brings crucial information in the pre-therapeutic analysis of intracranial aneurysm and is therefore highly recommended when such an abnormality is encountered. We report here a case of a non-dialysed patient with renal failure due to polycystosis, who presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage and underwent cerebral DSA and 3D-DSA with Gadolinium as the contrast agent, to seek for, assess and then embolize two cerebral aneurysms. |
