Abstract

É relatado um caso de aneurisma gigante da artéria cerebral média com as dimensões de 12,0 x 8,0 x 6,0 cm, tratado cirurgicamente mediante craniotomia e ressecção. É feita breve análise da conduta diante dos aneurismas gigantes. Os autores acreditam ser este o maior aneurisma cerebral já descrito até o presente momento.

Translated abstract

A case of giant aneurysm of the middle artery with the size of 12,0 x 8,0 x 6,0 cm is reported. Some aspects of the treatment of such aneurysm are considered. As far as we know this is the largest intracranial aneurysm ever recorded.

Observations on the relationship between the volume and the size of the orifice of experimental aneurysms.

S P BLACK, W J GERMAN (1960)

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the functional relationship between the volume and the size of the orifice of small saccular aneurysms such as those found intracranially. There is reason to believe that the relationship between those individual values plays an important,though as yet undefined, part in intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics. Little note is made in the literature of interior aneurysmal measurements save as depicted in drawings or arteriographically. While arteriorgraphy is of value in estimating aneurysmal volume in the functioning state, it has been somewhat less effective in outlining the orifice. An experimental entry to the problem seemed advisable, and this is a report of experience with 21 experimental aneurysms, each of which had a different chamber-volume to orifice-area relationship as expressed mathematically by V/A. Their patency or subsequent thrombosis was evaluated with reference to that quotient.
