[Giant basilar aneurysm--a case report (author's transl)].

R Katakura, T Yoshimoto, K Owada

    No Shinkei Geka. Neurological Surgery
    |October 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare giant basilar artery aneurysm ruptured in a 41-year-old female, causing neurological deficits. Surgical intervention was not feasible due to its size and location, leading to a fatal outcome.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Giant aneurysms, particularly those arising from the basilar artery, represent a significant challenge in neurovascular care.
    • The rarity of such large aneurysms necessitates detailed case reporting for understanding their clinical trajectory.

    Observation:

    • A 41-year-old female presented with memory disturbance, miscalculations, and hemiparesis.
    • Vertebral angiograms revealed a 66 mm giant basilar artery aneurysm, tortuous vertebral artery, dilated basilar artery, and left carotid artery agenesis.

    Findings:

    • Radical surgical treatment was deemed impossible due to the aneurysm's immense size and deep intracranial location.
    • Autopsy confirmed a ruptured giant aneurysm at the top of the basilar artery, causing extensive hematoma within the ventricles and Sylvian fissure.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for giant basilar artery aneurysms to be classified as vascular anomalies, distinct from typical saccular aneurysms.
    • The findings underscore the critical importance of advanced imaging and multidisciplinary approaches in managing complex neurovascular pathologies.
