Treating bilateral cerebral aneurysms via a unilateral approach is feasible and safe. This technique minimizes risks and inconvenience by avoiding a second craniotomy, offering a streamlined treatment for select patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Neurology

Background:

  • Bilateral cerebral aneurysms present a common clinical challenge.
  • Treating both aneurysms in a single surgical session via a unilateral approach can mitigate risks and patient inconvenience compared to separate craniotomies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technique for maximizing contralateral exposure.
  • To describe the method for clipping contralateral aneurysms through a unilateral approach.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing four specific anatomic triangles as surgical corridors.
  • Employing a unilateral surgical approach to access and treat bilateral aneurysms.

Main Results:

  • The contralateral approach for aneurysm repair is technically feasible.

  • The contralateral approach is safe in carefully selected patients.
  • This method allows for effective clipping of contralateral aneurysms.

    • Conclusions:

    • A unilateral approach for bilateral cerebral aneurysms is a viable and safe option.
    • Maximizing contralateral exposure through defined anatomic corridors is key to successful treatment.
    • This technique offers significant advantages for patients requiring treatment for bilateral aneurysms.
