Abstract
The authors report an exceptional case report of tumor like evolution of a complitely thrombosed aneurysm of the right vertebral artery suggestive of neurinoma of the XII nerve. We describe CT, MRI, MR-angiography. The diagno sis has been established by pathologic study after surgical extraction. Our case demonstrate the possibility of growth of totaly thombosed aneurysm s and we discuss various mechanisms.
