Abstract

We report preliminary experience with the use of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the assessment of intracranial aneurysms. The aims of the study were to confirm that aneurysms could be detected and to assess the quality of the images with a view to early surgery if clinically indicated. We studied 51 patients with recent spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage with MRA, using a three-dimensional time-of-flight technique. The results of MRA were subsequently confirmed on intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IA-DSA) for anatomical correlation, and were considered satisfactory in 38 patients (74.5%). In 20 patients early surgical obliteration of their aneurysm was possible on the MRA results without recourse to IA-DSA. A total of 37 aneurysms were identified in 32 patients, while the remaining 6 patients did not have an aneurysm. MRA was misinterpreted in 4 patients (7.9%), and in 9 other patients (17.6%) MRA was unsatisfactory due to movement artefacts.
