To the Editor: Dr. Stockinger's contribution to Images in Clinical Medicine (Dec. 10 issue)¹ shows the fatal periangiographic rupture of an aneurysm of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery in a 35-year-old woman. Forceful injection of contrast medium into a vertebral artery to visualize the contralateral posterior inferior cerebellar artery through retrograde opacification of the contralateral vertebral artery is a procedure that has long been used in order to avoid the need for selective catheterization of both vertebral arteries during a workup for subarachnoid hemorrhage. It must be remembered, however, that the intraaneurysmal pressure is increased by the injection of contrast . . . [Full Text of this Article]
