Abstract
The role of preoperative embolization in alleviating intra operative haemorrhage in small to medium sized JNA is dubious. We report an unusual case of JNA who developed cerebral edema, hemiplegia and aphasia following glue embolisation and underwent frontotemporal craniectomy. This drastic aftermath of embolisation challenges the safety of preoperative embolisation in such lesions.
