Microsurgical therapy of intracranial aneurysms

Objective To summarize the microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Methods The data of 21 patients with intracranial aneurysms were retrospectively analyzed. Results 20 cases were operated on by occlusion of aneurysm neck, and 1 by wrapping the wall. 18 patients got well recovered, 1 slightly disabled, 1 severely disabled and 1 died. Conclusion The key to the successful microsurgery is to block aneurysm artery and open cerebral cistern as well as the temporary blockage of aneurysm arteries, which can decrease death rate and disability.
