INTRACTABLE COMPLEX PARTIAL SEIZURES ASSOCIATED WITH POSTERIOR CEREBRAL-ARTERY GIANT ANEURYSM - A CASE-REPORT

Giant aneurysms have rarely been reported in association with intracta ble complex partial seizures We report a 30-year-old man with intracta ble CPS since age 18 years. Seizure onset was electrically localized t o right temporal lobe. Preoperative neuroimaging studies showed a part ially thrombosed giant aneurysm of the right posterior cerebral artery . Selective amygdalohippocampectomy and occlusion of the posterior cer ebral artery did not cause deficits. The patient has been seizure-free for 15 months after operation. We review the relevant literature on a neurysms as a cause of epilepsy.
