Abstract

The authors described different type of aneurysms in the distal anterior cerebral artery(DACA), which is difficult to approach surgically. there are anomalies of distal anterior cerebral artery in about one fourth and narrow space, which made more careful surgical dissection. We experienced 7 cases of DACA aneurysm, 6 cases of which were treated surgically through the interhemispheric approach via the unilateral frontal paramedian craniotomy on the non-dominant side. Surgical results were anatomical complexities, modern microsurgical technique aided by microscope make the approach more exactly and safely.
