Objetivo. Se revisa la terminologia, conceptos, fisiopatologia, anatomia patologica, clinica, diagnostico por imagen y tratamiento de los aneurismas cerebrales gigantes. Desarrollo. Se consideran separadamente los aneurismas saculares, fusiformes, disecantes y serpentinos. Los aneurismas saculares gigantes se consideran aneurismas saculares congenitos que crecen mas alla de su diametro de ruptura habitual gracias a mecanismos que refuerzan su pared. Los aneurismas fusiformes y disecantes se forman por la rotura amplia de alguna de las capas de su pared y, por esta causa, en la actualidad se consideran conjuntamente. Finalmente, los aneurismas serpentinos son excepcionales y su mecanismo fisiopatologico es controvertido. Conclusion. Cualquier tipo de aneurisma gigante constituye un gran reto para su manejo neuroquirurgico.
