The authors present the case of a patient who suffered from progressive cranial nerve dysfunction, radiographically documented brainstem compression, and peduncular hallucinosis after undergoing endosaccular coil placement in a giant basilar apex aneurysm. Symptom resolution was achieved following clip ligation of the basilar artery. The pathogenesis of aneurysm mass effect due to coil placement is discussed and the pertinent literature is reviewed.

Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammatory vasculitis affecting large and medium-sized arteries, leading to complications such as arterial dissection, blindness, and stroke. Rarely, GCA presents with Horner's syndrome due to sympathetic neuron involvement from arterial inflammation. This case report discusses an 82-year-old female with hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and arthritis who presented with a 24 h history of right eye ptosis, blurred vision, dizziness, and aching eye pain.

Article Synopsis
- Managing giant partially thrombosed intracranial aneurysms is challenging due to high recurrence rates and a lack of standardized treatment methods.
- A case study of a 62-year-old man with a giant aneurysm at the basilar artery received successful two-stage endovascular treatment, including a balloon occlusion test and stent-assisted WEB embolization.
- Post-treatment, imaging confirmed no recanalization, and the patient had stable recovery with no neurological deficits after 12 months, showcasing the effectiveness of this advanced treatment approach.

Article Synopsis
- Giant thrombosed posterior circulation aneurysms are rare but can lead to severe complications, with treatment options involving high risks of recurrence and complications.
- A 47-year-old woman underwent microsurgical clipping for a right giant thrombosed basilar artery-superior cerebellar artery aneurysm, utilizing double protective bypass techniques to reduce the risk of complications.
- The patient initially faced some recovery challenges but ultimately showed significant improvement with no deficits after 6 months, highlighting the effectiveness of protective bypasses in such surgical interventions.
Review of current treatment modalities and clinical outcome of giant saccular aneurysms of the basilar apex.

Department of Neurosurgery, Medical Faculty and University Hospital Düsseldorf, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany.
Introduction: Giant aneurysms of the basilar apex represent formidable challenges as the high rupture rate of untreated lesions must be balanced against the technical complexity and potential morbidity of intervention.
Research Question: Review of treatment modalities and outcomes of patients harboring giant (>2.5 cm) basilar apex saccular aneurysms, in an effort to refine treatment decision-making.
Efficacy and safety of Ginkgolide with intravenous alteplase thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion: a subgroup analysis of GIANT.

Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.
Aim: This study aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of Ginkgolide in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and moderate-to-severe stroke receiving intravenous alteplase thrombolysis (IVT).
Methods: Ginkgolide with Intravenous Alteplase Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke Improving Neurological Function (GIANT) was an open-label, prospective, multicenter, cluster-randomized clinical trial and included AIS patients in 24 centers randomized to the intervention of intravenous Ginkgolide or control group within the first 24 h after IVT. LVO was defined as any occlusion of the internal carotid artery, M1 or M2 of the middle cerebral artery, A1 or A2 of the anterior cerebral artery, P1 of the posterior cerebral artery, and V4 of the vertebral artery or the basilar artery.
