[Simulation of a hypophyseal tumor in carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms]

Case report. A 59 year old woman was thought to suffer from a neoplasm of the hypophysis. This "tumour" was simulated by a giant aneurysm of the infraorbital segment of the left carotid artery. For technical reasons the left carotid artery had not been demonstrated in the angiogram. For final clarification CT as well as bilateral angiography of the carotid arteries will be helpful.
