Exploration of diagnosis and treatment for intracranial aneurysm

Objective To discuss the selection of diagnosis for intracranial aneutysms,and to analyze thera-peutic efficacy of microsurgical treatment and endovascular embolizafion in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.Methods 190 pailents suffeming from intracranial aneurysms experienced brain CT examination.37 cases detected by MRI.31 cases detected by MRA,134 were confirmed by computered tomographic angiography(CTA)or 3D-CTA,and 142 cases were confirmed by digital subtract angiography(DSA).96 patients underwent microsurgical treatment,4 of whom failed in endovascular embolization.92 cases underwent endovascufar therapy,2 of whom were embolized by ONYX,and the other were embolized by guglielmi detachable coil(GDC).Results 9 patients died,2 of whorn died of re-hemorrhage,3 died of severe vasospasm,4 died of pneumonia and other complications,and the others were cured.Conclusion CT is the first choice for the subarachniod hemorrhage;MBA could be a choice for the detection of intracranial aneurysm without hemorrhage,but is not suit for the aneurysm clipping.The size-form,relationship with patent arteries,and even the raptured point of aneurysms can be clearly demonstrated by CTA-and CTA can be used to the operation for intracranial aneurysms directly.DSA-especially 3D-DSA Call display the blood supply of the complicated aneurysms clearly,and can guide the treatment for intracnmial aneurysms directly.Endo-vascular therapy and aneurysm clipping seem like complimentary than competitive,patients with acute cerebral edema should try to undergo endovascular therapy,while the patients with severe vasespasm should be treated with microsur-gical operation immediately and resolutely.The ruptured aneurysms in multiple intracraniul aneurysm should be iden-tified correctly and treated in the early stage.
