Abstract
Aneurysms greater than 2.5 cm in diameter are classified as giant aneurysms and represent 5-8% of all intracranial aneurysms. Giant intracranial aneurysms demonstrates the clinical course with symptoms related to subarachnoid haemorrhage, mass effect, thromboembolism and seizures. Not only because of their large sizes, but also because of their usually wide and calcified aneurysm neck, existing thrombus within and its proximity to cranial nerves; giant aneurysms causes serious surgical difficulties. Giant aneurysms of the anterior intracranial circulation are rare, slowly progressive vascular abnormalities, often presenting with neuro-ophthalmological symptoms before they rupture. Herein, a case of 77year-old woman with a giant aneurysm originated from intracavernous segment of internal carotid artery detected in magnetic resonance angiography who presented symptoms due to affected multiple cranial nerves related to mass effect.
