what does intracavernous aneurysm mean
Introduction. Intracavernous aneurysms of the carotid artery (ICAs) can produce symptoms through mass effect of the aneurysm on adjacent structures or through rupture, which leads to carotid cavernous fistula or occasionally to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) if the aneurysm extends through the dura.n one patient, one aneurysm was treated by occlusion of the parent vessel and the other by embolization with coils. In the fifth patient, both aneurysms were treated by balloon occlusion.
