| Description |
Cancerous erosion of an arterial wall can cause formation of an aneurysm. Intracranial neoplastic aneurysms are most often caused by hematogenous emboli from cardiac myxoma or choriocarcinoma. Cerebral metastases of choriocarcinoma occur in 1020% ofpatients with metastatic choriocarcinoma, some ofwhom develop intracranial aneurysms. Hematogenous metastasis ofother tumors may rarely produce aneurysms. Other malignant tumors that can produce an intracranial aneurysm include malignant fibrous histiocytoma, adenocarcinoma, and small-cell carcinoma ofthe lung. |
