Abstract:
The authors report a case of giant fusiform aneurysm in posterior cerebral artery treated with trapping after temporal lobectomy. A 44-year-old woman presented with blurred vision and oculomotor nerve palsy of right eye. Cerebral angiography showed a giant fusiform aneurysm in posterior cerebral artery. A zygomatic-temporal approach and temporal lobectomy was performed for sufficient exposure of surgical field and the aneurysm was trapped. Postoperatively oculomotor nerve palsy was improved. We report a case of a giant fusiform aneurysm of posterior cerebral artery treated with trapping after temporal lobectomy and reviewed pertinent literatures regarding the treatment of giant fusiform aneurysms in posterior cerebral artery.
