✓ The management of intracranial aneurysms in elderly patients remains controversial, since the natural history of these lesions is not well understood. The authors describe the case of a 76-year-old woman with documented enlargement of an internal carotid artery aneurysm over 3 years. The management of intracranial aneurysms in elderly patients is discussed.

Traumatic Aneurysms

✓ Giant traumatic intracranial aneurysms are rare, and thus their incidence and clinical behavior are poorly understood. In most cases, traumatic aneurysms develop and become symptomatic within months following injury. The authors present the case of a 46-year-old war veteran, in whom a giant internal carotid artery aneurysm developed as a result of a penetrating cranial shrapnel injury sustained 25 years earlier during the Vietnam war. The aneurysm had not been evident on previous imaging studies. At surgery, a piece of shrapnel was found embedded in the dome of the aneurysm. The presentation, diagnosis, management, and treatment options related to this lesion are discussed.

✓ Aneurysms arising from the intracavernous portion of the internal carotid artery very rarely rupture. A patient is presented in whom rupture of an aneurysm wholly within the cavernous sinus caused a subarachnoid hemorrhage. The aneurysm was successfully clipped via a direct surgical approach. The possible mechanism by which subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred is briefly discussed.

✓ Aneurysms of the intracavernous portion of the internal carotid artery may become very large, but they very rarely rupture. A case is described in which rupture of such a lesion resulted in a lethal massive subdural hematoma with transtentorial herniation. This is the second reported case of substantiated intracranial rupture from a wholly intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm.

Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm

Flow diverter stents are new important tools in the treatment of large, giant, or wide-necked aneurysms. Their delivery and positioning may be difficult due to vessel tortuosity. Common adverse events include intracranial hemorrhage and ischemic stroke, which usually occurs within the same day, or the next few days after the procedure. We present a case where we encountered an unusual intracerebral complication several months after endovascular treatment of a large left internal carotid artery aneurysm, and where brain biopsy revealed foreign body reaction to hydrophilic polymer fragments distally to the stent site. Although previously described, embolization of polymer material from intravascular equipment is rare. We could not identify any other biopsy verified case in the literature, with this particular presentation of intracerebral polymer embolization – a multifocal inflammation spread out through the white matter of one hemisphere without hemorrhage or ischemic changes.

Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm

✓ Seventy consecutive cases of internal carotid artery aneurysm were operated on utilizing the surgical microscope. There were three deaths (4.3% mortality), one of which occurred in a deeply comatose apneic patient. Fifty-nine patients (84%) had excellent results. Four (6%) had postoperative morbidity directly related to their operation; three of them were operated on within 2 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage and had neurological deficits attributed to cerebrovascular spasm. The low morbidity and mortality rates are partially related to patient selection but also significantly influenced by improved surgical techniques made possible by the microscope and microsurgical instrumentation. It is the authors' opinion that microsurgery should be standard procedure for craniotomy for intracranial aneurysm. It is suggested that future reported series of aneurysm therapy, regardless of the method of treatment employed, should be compared with the anticipated natural history.
