title: Computed tomography with giant intracranial aneurysms.
abstract: Five patients with giant intracranial aneurysms were studied by computed tomography. Secondary intracranial changes such as hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and communicating hydrocephalus are easily demonstrated by computed tomography. In addition, computed tomography provides precise information concerning the actual size and location of large but partially thrombosed or calcified aneurysm to better advantage than angiography.
