Perfect immobilization of the patient is mandatory when performing cerebral angiography. It allows good analysis and diagnosis of arterial or arterio-venous malformations. Neuroleptanalgesia or general anesthesia are currently used. Most common complications are due, either to induced arterial hypertension or to arterial catheterism (vasospasm or embolism). Early diagnosis and adequate treatment are necessary.
