case_images: Angiography showed two AML feeding arteries and two aneurysms, one on each of the arteries (Fig. 2A). Although one aneurysm had an irregular shape, which was responsible for bleeding, and the other regular, there was no contrast extravasation clearly from either aneurysm. All aneurysms were embolized with gelatin sponge particles and coils (Fig. 2B).
