Abstract
Carotid cavernous aneurysms are distinct entities. The anatomy of the cavernous sinus region has been well defined, and most spontaneous ane urysms of the cavernous sinus region carry a benign prognosis. Progres sively symptomatic, traumatic, or infectious aneurysms require treatme nt. This can be accomplished by carotid occlusion, extra cranial to in tracranial bypass, or direct surgery.
