Abstract
- The reports of the association of cerebral aneurysm and brain tumor are rare. Recently, we experienced five cases of association of cerebral aneurysm and bain tumor and available literature were reviewed. Of five cases of brain tumor, there were two cases of meningioma, two cases of pituitary adenoma and a case of malignant glioma. Vascular clips were used for aneurysm obliteration in three cases, coating was in a case and four cases of them had favorable outcome. The association of cerebral aneurysm and brain tumor had difficult problems in treatment such as brain swelling and hemorrhage from the aneurysm after removal of tumor.
