Giant cavernous carotid aneurysm causing pituitary dysfunction: Pituitary function recovery with high-flow bypass.

CONCLUSION: Giant ICA aneurysm causing pituitary dysfunction is relatively rare, but it is important to consider in the differential diagnosis for hypopituitarism. Treatment with high-flow bypass using radial artery graft can achieve both prevention of aneurysm rupture and recovery of pituitary function. PMID: 28868192 [PubMed]
