| Abstract: | Sixteen years after transsphenoidal sellar implantation of yttrium-90 screws for acromegaly, a 56-year-old woman was examined because of severe headaches and diabetes insipidus. Intravenous digital subtraction angiography revealed a large intrasellar aneurysm of the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery. The aneurysm was entrapped, with an excellent surgical outcome. Previous reports of postsurgical aneurysms of the intracavernous carotid artery are discussed. |
