Unruptured Large and Giant Carotid Artery Aneurysms Presenting with Cranial Nerve Palsy: Comparison of Clinical Recovery after Selective Aneurysm Coiling and Therapeutic Carotid Artery Occlusion

Abstract

Recovery of ICA aneurysm-induced cranial nerve dysfunction occurs in most patients, both after ICA occlusion and after selective coiling. In patients who cannot tolerate ICA occlusion, selective aneurysmal occlusion with coils is a valuable alternative.
