Popis: Although ectatic intracranial vessels are not so common, they should be included in the differential diagnosis of space-occupying lesions in the cranium. We consider it better to talk about ectatic vessels of fusiform aneurysms rather than megadolicho arteries. This being due to the large discrepancies concerning the length of intracranial arteries (3). These ectatic lesions were described long ago by pathologists and anatomists. Since the introduction and development of angiography, we are now more aware of this disease process. An ectatic vessel can produce a variety of symptom complexes. Until now, only a few neurosurgeons have tried to tackle this problem surgically and with varying amounts of success (1, 13). For most of us it is more a question of trying to alleviate the symptoms.
