Abstract
- The authors report a rare case of neurofibroma of the oculomotor nerve combined with the bilateral intracavernous aneurysms of the internal carotid artery. A 38-year-old female presented with a 2 month history of ocular pain and ptosis on the left side. Computed tomogram and magnetic resonance image showed a parasellar enhancing mass. Angiogram revealed bilateral intracavernous aneurysm of the internal carotid artery and multiple beaded appearance of the internal carotid artery. The tumor was completely removed via left Dolenc approach and the oculomotor nerve was reconstructed by end-to-end anastomosis, with the sural nerve. Ipsilateral intracavernous aneurysm was clipped using an encircling clip.
