Abstract:

The combination of intracranial tumors and asymptomatic brain aneurysms is an urgent problem, since it can significantly affect surgical intervention. Aneurysms are common in patients with meningioma, glioma and pituitary adenoma. According to certain authors, combination of aneurysms with pituitary adenomas is 7 times more common than with other tumors. In these cases, a comprehensive examination of the patient and decision-making on surgical strategy are required. This review is devoted to epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of patients with a combination of pituitary adenomas and intracranial aneurysms detected intraoperatively or at the preoperative stage. The manuscript is illustrated by cases observed at the Burdenko Neurosurgery Center.
