The natural history of incompletely clipped intracranial aneurysms is largely unknown. The authors present two cases of residual aneurysm filling after surgical clipping which were successfully managed by intravascular placement of platinum coils. Management of residual aneurysms and possible future role of transcatheter therapy are discussed.

D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
