| Stented (n=30) | Non-stented (n=60) | p Value | |
| Cranial nerve palsy (n (%)) | 1 (3.3)* | 2 (3.3)† | 1.0 |
| Worsening of vision (n (%)) | 1 (3.3)‡ | 4 (6.7)§ | 0.66 |
↵* One patient with unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy.
↵† Two patients with unilateral abducens nerve palsy.
↵‡ One patient with worsening vision attributed to subarachnoid hemorrhage, not the embolization procedure.
↵§ One patient with Terson syndrome, one patient with temporary unilateral visual loss that returned to baseline after 1 week of decadron therapy, one patient with unilateral visual loss and one patient with posterior ischemic optic neuropathy, likely secondary to the subarachnoid hemorrhage.
