AbstractThe authors present the case of a patient who suffered from progressive cranial nerve dysfunction, radiographically documented brainstem compression, and peduncular hallucinosis after undergoing endosaccular coil placement in a giant basilar apex aneurysm. Symptom resolution was achieved following clip ligation of the basilar artery. The pathogenesis of aneurysm mass effect due to coil placement is discussed and the pertinent literature is reviewed.
