This is a case report of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm simulating a 3rd ventricular tumor with obstructive hydrocephalus demonstrated on CT scan. Angiography showed the "tumor" to be an aneurysm. We believe that giant aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery should be included in the differential diagnosis of suspected 3rd ventricular tumors along with suprasellar masses as seen on CT scans.
这是一例前交通动脉瘤的病例报告,该动脉瘤在CT扫描上表现为类似第三脑室肿瘤并伴有梗阻性脑积水。血管造影显示“肿瘤”为动脉瘤。我们认为,前交通动脉的巨大动脉瘤应纳入疑似第三脑室肿瘤的鉴别诊断中,如同CT扫描所见的鞍上肿块一样。
