Abstract
Saccular intracranial aneurysms occur infrequently in children, and the incidence of pediatric giant aneurysms is statistically in the same proportion as in adults. The management of these giant aneurysms can be treacherous. This paper presents a case of a 9-year-old boy with a giant aneurysm of the right middle cerebral artery that was successfully managed by ligation of the middle cerebral artery using a Drake tourniquet with the patient awake and by augmentation of the middle cerebral artery circulation with superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery anastomosis without excision of the lesion.
