BackgroundThe natural history of unruptured cerebral aneurysms is not clearly defined.
MethodFifteen patients who were diagnosed with unruptured intracranial aneurysms and were surgically treated by clipping at our
hospital during the years 2004–2005 were studied retrospectively.
FindingsThere was no mortality. Early morbidity in this study was 6...

... a right MCA aneurysm had an additional left ophthalmic artery aneurysm. All patients were examined preoperatively using cranial computed tomography, cranial MR and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Some patients also had cranial MR angiography study. All aneurysms, except for one ophthalmic artery aneurysm, were repaired by clip placement (Figs. 1-3). The patient with the ophthalmic artery aneurysm was instead referred to neuroradiology for endovascular treatment after microsurgical treatment of the MCA aneurysm. Fourteen out of 15 patients underwent postoperative DSA for assessment of the occlusion of the ...

OBJECTIVE: The pterional approach is the most common approach in vascular neurosurgery, but in recent years has been an increasing interest in minimally invasive surgery or keyhole surgery. We present preliminary results from the use of pterional keyhole approach in surgery for cerebral aneurysms performed in the Cayetano Heredia Hospital in 2009....

Despite the increasing use of stent-assisted coiling (SAC), data on its long-term clinical and angiographic results are limited.
The objective of this article is to assess the long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes in SAC in our single-center practice.

Background: The aim f the study is to analyze the factors affecting the outcome of patients with intracranial
aneurysms and to review the perioperative management of patients undergoing surgical clipping.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective review of all the patients presenting for neurosurgical clipping over a period of 10 months was done. Data...

In 1893 William Gowers concluded that “If the diagnosis of an intracranial aneurysm is certain, the prognosis is extremely grave” (1). This statement is unfortunately still valid.
