Abstract
Giant, previously coiled basilar tip aneurysms are difficult to cure. A 38-year-old woman with ruptured, giant, previously coiled basilar tip aneurysm was treated with clipping under hypothermic cardiac standstill and is doing excellently 15 years after surgery. Angiography did not show any recurrence. Until endovascular treatment is proven on a long-term basis to cure similar aneurysms, surgery should remain an option.
