Abstract
The case of a growth-hormone-producing pituitary adenoma which was in direct contact with a right internal carotid, medial-type aneurysm is reported. Direct clipping of the aneurysm and subcapsular removal of the adenoma were performed through a right frontotemporal craniotomy. The rarity of this direct contact and the cause of formation and enlargement of the aneurysm are discussed. The importance of angiography in cases of pituitary adenoma is stressed.Entities:
