[Arterial aneurysms imitating tumors of the sellar area].
In 3.9% of cases arterial aneurysms took the clinical picture of tumors of the sellar region. The data of the dynamics of the disease, the neurological status, and the findings of ophthalmological, craniographic and pneumoencephalographic examination do not help in establishing the character of the pathological process exactly. To avoid complications consequent upon erroneous determination of the character of the process bilateral carotid angiography should be conducted before surgery in patients with a clinical picture of tumor of the sellar area.
