Abstract:
A 62-year-old woman, who presented with dipolipia, was found to have a giant aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery. Gradual ligation of the right internal carotid artery was followed by nausea and vomiting 10 days after the complete ligation. Follow up MRI showed intraluminal thrombus formation of the aneurysm and right temporo-occipital infarction.
