Abstract
Cavernous carotid aneurysms (CCAs) differ from other intracranial aneurysms in that most are asymptomatic and are generally considered benign as there is a low risk of rupture. More common than complications from rupture are complications from the mass effect of the aneurysm itself on nearby structures.1,2 This report describes a case of a giant right CCA that progressed in size despite multiple surgical repairs that resulted in near- complete ophthalmoplegia and neurotrophic keratitis which led to a perforated corneal ulcer and subsequent enucleation.
