We present five cases of giant serpentine aneurysms (large, partially thrombosed aneurysms containing tortuous vascular channels with a separate entrance and outflow pathway) and review 28 cases reported in the literature. Giant serpentine aneurysms should be considered as a subgroup of giant aneurysms, distinct from saccular and fusiform varieties, given their unique clinical presentation and radiographic features.
我们报告了5例巨大蜿蜒状动脉瘤(大型、部分血栓形成的动脉瘤,包含迂曲的血管通道,有独立的入口和流出道),并回顾了文献中报道的28例病例。鉴于其独特的临床表现和影像学特征,巨大蜿蜒状动脉瘤应被视为巨大动脉瘤的一个亚组,有别于囊状和梭形动脉瘤。
