title: [Spontaneous thrombosis of a giant aneurysm after excision of an associated vascular malformation. Report of a case].
abstract: A case of a patient with a giant aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery and a huge arteriovenous malformation hemodynamically related is reported. Complete thrombosis of the aneurysm was observed after extirpation of the arteriovenous malformation as shown by angiography one week, six months and a year post-operatively. Reduction of the regional cerebral blood flow after extirpation of the arteriovenous malformation and the natural tendency of these giant aneurysms to partially thrombose were to be the explanation for our results.
