Abstract:
The authors are reporting traumatic giant aneurysm arising from supraclinoid portion of internal carotid artery. The patients was a 22-years old man who had suffered a major head injury in a traffic accident. On admission he was comatous and there were multiple abrasion over the body and severe hemorrhage comming from the left ear with open fracture in left parietal. 4 weeks later, computed tomographic scan demonstrated large well enhanced mass in the suprasellar region. Carotid angiography showed giant aneurysm fed by supraclinoid portion of internal carotid artery. After frontotemporal craniectomy, direct approach was performed using surgical microscope.
