Abstract
A patient with a giant fusiform aneurysm of the left inferior trunkus of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is presented. The size of the aneu rysm was 5 cm at its largest diameter. Retrograde flow was well develo ped. After the application of temporary clips the aneurysm was excised and microsurgical reconstructions were undertaken. Adequate flow in t he reconstructed MCA trunkus was maintained. This rare case is discuss ed in the light of the literature.
