Abstract
The use of magnetic resonance (MR) angiography as a safe, accurate, and reliable substitute for invasive cerebral arteriography has been anticipated as refinements in this technique are introduced. We present the case of an unruptured, 11-mm pericallosal arterial aneurysm not visualized on high-resolution MR angiography. Although this case may be atypical, we caution against complete reliance on this test for exclusion of the presence of cerebral aneurysms.Keywords
