Epilepsy research and treatment

Summary: Giant aneurysms have rarely been reported in association with intractable complex partial seizures (CPS). We report a 30‐year‐old man with intractable CPS since age 18 years. Seizure onset was electrically localized to right temporal lobe. Preoperative neuroimaging studies showed a partially thrombosed giant aneurysm of the right posterior cerebral artery. Selective arnygdalo‐ hippocampectomy and occlusion of the posterior cerebral artery did not cause deficits. The patient has been seizure‐free for 15 months after operation. We review the relevant literature on aneurysms as a cause of epilepsy.
