MRA or CTA, That's the Question

ANDREW HARRISON, EDITOR

Abstract

A 26-year-old woman developed a painful left pupil–involving oculomotor palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits with and without fat suppression and gadolinium and magnetic resonance angiography of the head were normal. A computed tomographic angiogram showed a left 7-mm posterior communicating artery aneurysm. The different neuroimaging modalities used to diagnose intracranial aneurysms are discussed.

Key words: aneurysm, computed tomographic angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, oculomotor palsy
