Abstract: Methods: Despite the progress in developing high-tech methods for neurosurgical patient treatment, managing giant internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms remains challenging. We report a case of the successful surgical treatment of a patient with a highly complex clinical problem – a giant aneurysm (GA) at the right supraclinoid ICA. First, the extent of an open surgical intervention was as follows: the ICA was exposed using a linear neck incision and mobilized. Then, osteoplastic skull trepanation in the pterional region and the aneurysmal portion of supraclinoid ICA was performed. The chosen surgical tactics prevented recurrent subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage, ischemia, edema, and brain compression, which are closely related to death and disability. Based on the above, the treatment method has been considered a practical option for treating this cohort of patients. Keywords: Internal carotid artery, aneurysm, clipping, intracranial hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage.
