Intracranial aneurysms.
OBJECTIVE
To review the neuroophthalmic manifestations of cavernous and posterior communicating artery aneurysms as well as the diagnosis and treatment options for patients with these kinds of aneurysms.


RESULTS
The natural history of cavernous aneurysms has recently been systematically followed. Comparison of coiling and clipping for posterior communicating artery aneurysms has yielded new suggestions on how to best treat these patients.


CONCLUSIONS
The review discusses how to follow these cases, diagnose and treat, and assess for complications after treatment decisions have been made.
