    Abstract:
    Giant intracranial aneurysms still represent a serious threat because of high mortality and morbidity and an absence of a widely accepted treatment. Herein, we illustrate the case of a 54-yr-old woman with progressive neurological decline who was found to have an unruptured, giant, partially thrombosed aneurysm of the left supraclinoid portion of internal carotid artery (ICA) with brainstem compression. In this video, we demonstrate the successful stepwise treatment of this lesion with endovascular embolization of the patent portion of the aneurysm, followed by microsurgical debulking and clipping. At 3-yr follow-up, the patient experienced a neurological improvement and performed all normal activity. For patients in which single-modality therapy does not assure a safe treatment option, multimodal management with endovascular and open techniques should be considered as a therapeutic option for complex giant intracranial aneurysms. Consent was given by the patient prior to the surgical procedure. Consent and approval for this operative video, in light of the retrospective nature and use of anonymized material, were waived.
