Abstract

The pipeline embolization device has demonstrated clinical success in the management of complex intracranial aneurysms arising along the anterior intracranial circulation with a relatively low complication profile. A case report is presented which describes a novel complication of delayed intraparenchymal hemorrhage following deployment of a pipeline embolization device for the treatment of a previously ruptured partially thrombosed ophthalmic segment aneurysm.
