Abstract

In this article, the relevant anatomy of the cavernous and paraclinoid internal carotid artery is examined. Then the classic presentation of aneurysms in these locations and methods of diagnosis are reviewed. Finally, considerations for deciding to treat these aneurysms and the various endovascular techniques available are discussed.
