Br J Neurosurg. 1988;2(3):411-3. doi: 10.3109/02688698809001015.

Abstract

Tumours related to intracranial aneurysms are rare. The authors report the metastasis of a parotid acinic cell carcinoma which spread to an intracavernous carotid aneurysm in a 51-year-old female. The tumour and aneurysm were partially excised at craniotomy with relief of the patients presenting headache.
