Abstract:
Pituitary adenomas are associated with intracranial aneurysms. Giant non-functioning pituitary adenomas with aneurysms in their vicinity pose technical surgical challengesas aneurysm rupture can be catastrophic during surgery. We present the case of a middle aged women who presented with progressive visual loss in both eyes caused by a giant pituitary adenoma compressing the optic chiasma. She also had associated mirror image carotid aneurysms embedded in the tumour. They were successfully coiled preoperatively and the tumour was removed safely with improvement of her symptoms.
