| Abstract: | We report here a 54-year-old man with an aneurysm arising on a cervical anterior radiculomedullary artery. The aneurysm ruptured
just after vertebral angiography for a vascular anomaly of the brain, and it appeared to be fusiform, with thrombosis following
angiography. Considering the sequential radiological studies and clinical course, it was assumed to be a dissecting aneurysm
caused by the angiography. MRI showed severe swelling of the cervical spinal cord and an infarct in the territory of the anterior
spinal artery. The mechanism of this rare complication is discussed.
