[Microsurgical treatment of 86 cases of intracranial aneurysms]
1Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College, Wenzhou 325000, China.
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, aneurysms 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.
