Computed tomographic demonstration of giant aneurysms of the vertebrobasilar system: Report of eight cases

Giant aneurysms of the vertebrobasilar system can easily mimic other mass lesions in the posterior fossa and 3rd ventricle. Recently, we treated eight cases of giant aneurysm in the vertebrobasilar circulation that were demonstrated by computed tomography with angiographic correlation. We describe the salient radiological features that help to distinguish giant aneurysms from neoplasms and discuss their clinical manifestations and surgical management.
