title: Computer tomographic features of giant intracranial aneurysms.
abstract: Five cases of giant intracranial aneurysm are reported, all of which presented as intracranial mass lesions. All five aneurysms were visualised by CT scanning as well as angiography. Their CT scan appearances may be sufficiently characteristic to be distinguished from other mass lesions. The poor prognosis when untreated is emphasised, and the results of treatment by carotid ligation discussed.
