Abstract
We present five cases of giant serpentine aneurysms (large, partially thrombosed aneurysms containing tortuous vascular channels with a sepa rate entrance and outflow pathway) and review 28 cases reported in the literature. Giant serpentine aneurysms should be considered as a subg roup of giant aneurysms, distinct from saccular and fusiform varieties , given their unique clinical presentation and radiographic features.
