Summary: Abstract: Giant serpentine aneurysm is rare subtype of intracranial aneurysm which is commonly seen in the middle cerebral artery, characterized asarterial dilatations in fusiform form, extending the lumen longitudinally along the axis and curves of the original artery, creating a serpentine pathway with a separate entrance and outflow tract. GSA can present clinically with symptoms of mass effect, seizures, or ischemic symptoms. This case report presented a extremely rare case of mega giant serpentine aneurysm seen in the right internal carotid artery with surrounding large mass thrombus formation, causing mass extension in the middle cranial fossa through the skull base compressing the leftward optic chiasm as well as the left optic nerve. There is also a mass extension seen anteriorly and contralaterally to the left nasal cavity, left ethmoid, left maxillary and left frontal sinusues and to the left retrobulbar region causing mild proptosia of the ipsilateral orbit.
