INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM OF THE INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY CURED BY OPERATION

Abstract

A man of sixty, who thirty-four years previously had suffered fracture of the skull from a fall on his head, leaving permanent immobility of the right eye and ptosis, now came for pain in and about the eye. He was under observation nearly three months, when he died of anemia. Autopsy showed aneurysm of internal carotid just above the cavernous sinus. Abstracts are given of the four cases observed in Cushing's series of 1,280 intracranial tumors. This case and specimens were presented before conferences of surgeons of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary and Second Medical Division (Cornell) of Bellevue Hospital. © 1924.
