Supergiant intracranial aneurysms (53-84 mm) were surgically excised in six patients. While some tolerated balloon occlusion, others required bypass grafts, with severe swelling complicating two cases, highlighting therapeutic risks.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Neurology

Background:

  • Supergiant intracranial aneurysms present significant surgical challenges.
  • Management strategies for these large vascular lesions are complex and carry high risks.

Observation:

  • Six cases of very large anterior circulation intracranial aneurysms (40-84 mm) were analyzed.
  • Surgical excision was performed in all cases, including a pediatric patient.
  • Preoperative assessment included CT and MRI, revealing edema and shift in complex cases.

Findings:

  • Three patients underwent successful parent artery ligation and aneurysmectomy after tolerating balloon occlusion.
  • Three patients required saphenous vein bypass grafts due to intolerance to balloon occlusion.
  • Two patients developed severe brain swelling post-bypass, necessitating emergency decompression; one patient died.

Implications:

  • Supergiant aneurysms pose substantial therapeutic risks, demanding careful consideration of surgical approaches.
  • Alternative treatment strategies beyond direct surgical intervention should be explored for these complex cases.
  • Patient selection and preoperative assessment are critical for optimizing outcomes in managing giant intracranial aneurysms.
