Abstract:
Giant serpentine aneurysms form a subgroup of giant intracranial aneurysms with specific radiological and surgical features. Previous reports have stressed the predilection of these lesions for the carotid circulation, particularly the middle cerebral artery. Two cases of serpentine aneurysm affecting the posterior circulation are reported and the problems of diagnosis and treatment of this lesion are discussed.
