Digital subtraction cerebral angiographic findings. The anterior-posterior (A) and lateral view (B) of the right internal carotid angiogram demonstrates a 15 mm-sized giant aneurysm in the supraclinoid segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA), which bulges out to the lateral direction. Computer-assisted 3D reconstruction of the angiograms (C) provides a clear picture of the dimension of the aneurysm. The anterior-posterior (D) and lateral view (E) of follow up cerebral angiography shows a 7×8×6 mm-sized aneurysm (black arrow) in the supraclinoid segment of the right ICA as well as a clip. The protruding direction of the aneurysm (white arrow) is medial, posterior, and superior to the right ICA (F).
