Giant intracranial aneurysms simulating brain neoplasms on computed tomography

Abstract
Giant intracranial aneurysms (GIA) may simulate brain neoplasms on computed tomography (CT) scans. We present three cases in which a GIA was mistakenly diagnosed as a brain neoplasm on the basis of CT findings. The correct diagnosis was made in each case by cerebral angiography. The possibility of GIA must be considered when a nonenhanced CT study shows a well circumscribed mass without edema at the base of the brain and contrast infusion reveals homogeneous or inhomogeneous enhancement.
