✦ Synopsis

This article presents a rare case in which we experienced two undesirable results following wrapping of an internal carotid artery aneurysm. First, a muscle piece used for wrapping was absorbed completely and, therefore, could not prevent enlargement of the aneurysm. And second, muslin gauze wrapping induced a foreign-body granuloma at the site (parasellar region), and resulted in development of oculomotor palsy.
