ABSTRACT
Giant aneurysms (>25 mm) arising from the vertebral artery (VA) often present with slow progression of symptoms and signs because of gradual brainstem and cranial nerve compression. The underlying pathophysiology is not well understood, and treatment, wherever possible, is tailored to each singular case. Endovascular management does not usually solve the problem of mass compression, whereas surgical treatment involves several complications. We present a case of giant vertebral artery aneurysm treated in our department.
