Core Tip
Core Tip: A spontaneously occluded cavernous carotid giant intracranial aneurysm (GIA), which presented with sequential slow growth, continuous progression of aneurysmal thrombosis, aneurysmal calcification, spontaneous complete occlusion of the parent internal carotid artery, was not reported. Cavernous carotid GIAs have a low risk of rupture, but nowadays, we advocate for endovascular treatment to inhibit the growth of these aneurysms and prevent subsequent complications caused mainly by the mass effect of the cavernous carotid GIAs.
