Abstract
To the authors' knowledge, only 1 case of communicating hydrocephalus after endovascular coiling of unruptured brain aneurysms has been reported previously. Here, they report on 2 such cases of delayed communicating hydrocephalus after treatment with hydrogel-coated coils and offer the first histopathological evidence of foreign material, presumably related to the coils, as the cause of hydrocephalus.Entities:
