Unruptured cerebral aneurysms sometimes present with visual symptomsdue to compression of the visual pathways. However, until now, unruptured anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms presenting visual field defects have been extremely rare. The authors report the case of a 51-year-old woman who presented with left homonymous hemianopsia. Radiological findings demonstrated an ACoA aneurysm filled with thrombus, that was compressing the optic chiasm and post-chiasmal tract. The patient underwent clipping of the aneurysm, which resolved the visual field defect. In cases of visual field defects, an ACoA aneurysm should be included in the differential diagnosis.
未破裂的脑动脉瘤有时会因视觉通路受压而出现视觉症状。然而,迄今为止,出现视野缺损的未破裂前交通动脉(ACoA)动脉瘤极为罕见。作者报告了一例51岁女性患者,该患者表现为左侧同向性偏盲。影像学检查发现一个充满血栓的ACoA动脉瘤,该动脉瘤压迫视交叉和视交叉后束。患者接受了动脉瘤夹闭术,视野缺损得以解决。对于出现视野缺损的病例,鉴别诊断应包括ACoA动脉瘤。
