Abstract
A 30-year old man suddenly developed left hemiplegia. CT scan and cere bral angiography showed complete thrombosis of a right internal caroti d giant aneurysm. Anterograde propagation of the thrombus in the paren t artery led to ipsilateral hemispheric infarction, an exceptional pre senting symptom of such vascular malformation. The diagnostic and etio pathogenic aspects are briefly discussed.
