Coincidental Feeding Artery Aneurysm Presenting during Glioblastoma Surgery: A Case Report and Literature Review

Özet

The medical literature reports an association between cerebral neoplasms and aneurysm formation. Some related aneurysms aredetected during preoperative screening, whereas others are detected during or after surgery. We report a patient with de novocerebral feeding artery aneurysm that we managed during glioblastoma surgery. We present a brief review of the literature onthe coexistence of brain tumors, particularly that related to high-grade glioma and aneurysms. The literature discusses severalmechanisms underlying tumor formation accompanied by aneurysm formation. Some classifications were also proposed forgrouping such aneurysms. We question the necessity of the routine use of vascular imaging for patients with glioblastoma.
