Abstract
Giant aneurysms involving or adjacent to the circle of Willis in patients exhibit 3 CT (computed tomographic) patterns: nonthrombotic, partially thrombotic and completely thrombotic. Partially thrombotic aneurysms have the most specific pattern consisting of a target configuration on the post-contrast scan. Ring calcification of the wall or mural thrombus is frequently seen partially or completely thrombotic aneurysms. Calcification is not seen in nonthrombotic lesions. Angiographic and neuropathological findings are correlated with the CT findings.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
