Abstract
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
website, between the years of 2005 and 2012, there have
been 100 cases of catheters being embedded in Onyx
cast (ev3, Irvine, California) [1]. Because these microcatheters have a metallic coil within the shaft, the safety
of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is safe in
this situation is not known. We report a patient in whom
the MRI was performed in the presence of microcatheter
imbedded within the intracranial arteries.
