    A brain berry aneurysm ruptured during a CT scan, a rare event. While contrast media may contribute to rupture, the risk of re-rupture during imaging is low.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Cerebral aneurysms pose significant risks, including rupture and hemorrhage.
    • Computed tomography (CT) with contrast is a common diagnostic tool for evaluating suspected aneurysms.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of berry aneurysm rupture during a CT scan is presented.
    • A review of two prior case reports of aneurysmal rupture during CT is included.

    Findings:

    • Contrast medium infusion may trigger aneurysm rupture through various mechanisms.
    • Potential mechanisms include anticoagulant effects, endothelial changes, platelet interactions, vasodilation, and loss of arterial spasm.

    Implications:

    • Despite the risk of initial rupture, re-rupture during contrast infusion appears rare.
