  Objectives: Endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using detachable coils is an established method by interventional radiologists. Next to prevention of subarachnoidal hemorrhage, prospective and retrospective studies have shown relief of symptoms caused by the mass effect of the aneurysm following this treatment.

Furthermore, we review the literature to increase awareness of this complication, its pathophysiology and therapeutic options. Results: Only rare cases of local perianeurysmal inflammation have been reported in literature. Clinical symptoms are heterogenous, up to focal seizures or symptoms of acute hydrozephalus.
