Saccular aneurysms of the subarachnoid segment of the internal carotid artery(ICA) are among the most common aneurysms encountered by neurosurgeons. Surgical strategy and techniques to deal with such aneurysms arising...
Patients with anterior cerebral artery aneurysm (ACA) make up one third of all those presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Aneurysms in this location may be subclassified according to their projection in...
A 64-year-old female presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of a rare true posterior communicating (P-com) artery aneurysm, which is arising from P-com artery itself. A saccular aneurysm was...
Microsurgical clipping is a standard treatment modality of cerebral aneurysms. Despite the far advances in surgical technique and craft, aneurysm surgery is still challenge to neurosurgeons. It carries considerable risk...
The authors report experience using GDC (Guglielmi detachable coil) for the treatment of the cerebral aneurysmal remnant following incomplete surgical clipping. All four patients in whom surgical clipping didn't result...
Middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms account for approximately one-fifth of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The preferred treatment of these aneuryms is microsurgical clipping because of their peripheral location, large neck-to-fundus ratio,...
The objective of aneurysm surgery is to exclude the aneurysm from the circulation while preserving blood flow distal to the lesion. In certain situations, the aneurysm neck cannot be clipped...
Surgical treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms are still challenging to the neurosurgeons, requiring highly skilled hands. Patients with intracranial aneurysms operated on from January 1984 to January 2003 have been...
There is increasing evidence that thrombin is directly involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral edema after intracerebral hemorrhage. Some authors emphasize that early removal of hematoma using plasminogen activator can...
A 64-year-old female presented with unconscious state after sudden onset headache, nausea and vomiting. Computed tomography showed acute subdural hematoma (SDH) over the left convexity without subarachnoid hemorrhage. 3D-CT angiogram...
OBJECTIVES: When the supraclinoid portion of internal carotid artery (ICA) is shortened, the anterior clinoid process may have to be partially removed to secure adequate exposure and proximal control of...
