- Abstract
Two cases are reported in which an anterior communicating artery aneurysm was associated with an intracranial tumour. The tumour was a suprasellar meningioma in one case and an optic chiasm/hypothalamic astrocytoma in the other. In both cases, the aneurysm was successfully embolized using Guglielmi detachable coils. Subsequently craniotomy was performed with complete excision of the meningioma and subtotal removal of the astrocytoma. Endovascular techniques can be employed to make the surgical excision of an intracranial tumour co-existing with an incidental aneurysm safer.
