Abstract

The association between vasculopathy and radiation is well recognized. Generalized arterial disruption and subsequent stenosis and occlusion is most often described. Additional vascular phenomenon, such as pseudoaneurysm formation, aneurysmal dilatation and aneurysmal rupture, are less common. We document a case of a cerebral aneurysm formation and rupture in the field radiated for cerebral neoplasm.
