The primary radiological diagnosis was a probable craniopharyngioma. A cerebral angiogram revealed a partially thrombosed giant PCoA aneurysm on the right side. The patient underwent pterional craniotomy with aneurysm clipping and thrombectomy to relieve mass effect, and has made a good recovery. Review of the literature documents that giant PCoA aneurysms are rare. This is believed to be the first reported case of a PCoA aneurysm presenting as a third ventricle mass with obstructive hydrocephalus. The magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of those third ventricle masses that mandate vascular workup are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1994.81.2.0299","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,28]],"date-time":"2009-05-28T14:45:48Z","timestamp":1243521948000},"page":"299-303","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Giant
