  • Title: Spontaneous thrombosis of a giant internal carotid aneurysm in a patient who presented with hypopituitarism.
    Author: Ray A, Leach P, Vafidis J.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2002 Dec; 16(6):590-2. PubMed ID: 12617242.
    Abstract:
    This case report describes a 66-year-old woman who initially presented with features of hypopituitarism secondary to a giant intra-cavernous internal carotid aneurysm. She represented a year later with features suggestive of a subarachnoid haemorrhage, but repeat CT showed no change from the one performed previously. A repeat angiogram, however, showed complete spontaneous thrombosis of the aneurysm including the parent artery.
