title: Intracranial aneurysm associated with pituitary adenoma shown by MR angiography: case report.

Recognition of this association has important clinical implications, leading to modification of the surgical approach. The aneurysm was shown on MR angiography and confirmed with contrast arteriography and at surgery.
