Microsurgical treatment of 86 cases of intracranial aneurysms

Objective To summarize the microsurgical experience in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Method The clinical materials, surgical modes and prognosis of 86 cases of clipped intracranial aneurysms were retrospectively reviewed. Results Of the 86 cases, 69 recovered, 10 were moderately disabled, 2 severely disabled, and 5 died. Conclusions To avoid rerupture, anurysms should be treated as soon as possible when the diagnosis was established. Proper management of rupture of aneurysms during operation is the key of success. Multiple aneurysms are better to be clipped in one stage. de novo aneurysms could be detected early by long term angiography.
