Clinical-tomographic evolution of a giant intracranial aneurysm. Case report.
The Authors report about the case of one patient with stroke picture of aphasia and right pyramidal deficiency hemisyndrome evidencing at the CT a picture of multiple bilateral malacic areas associated with a picture of bilateral megadolichosiphon. The later tomographic controls evidenced the occurrence of a right latero-supra-sellar expansive injury compatible with a picture of giant aneurysm of the homolateral carotidal siphon. The Authors analyze the clinical, neuroradiological and anatomopathologic findings in the light of the present publications in the recent literature.
