Spontaneous thrombosis of a giant cerebral aneurysm is a recognized phenomenon, however it becomes rare when the thrombosed aneurysm is associated with the occlusion of its parent artery1,2. The best management strategy is not defined yet. Theoretically, it should be directed to alleviating mass effect related symptoms caused by the aneurysm itself and to preventing cerebral ischemia […] Rare case of carotid artery occlusion due to thrombosis of a giant cerebral aneurysm.
