Gli autori riportano un caso di paralisi isolata del VI nervo cranico di sinistra da aneurisma gigante parzialmente trombizzato del tratto intracavernoso dell'arteria. carotide interna di sinistra. La diagnosi è stata eseguita con risonanza magnetica e studio Angio-RM.
Gli autori discutono il ruolo di tale metodica nella diagnosi di questa patologia, giungendo alla conclusione di riservarla al momento diagnostico, con successivo ricorso ad una indagine angiografica tradizionale per una decisione chirurgica e/o intervenzionistica.
