Abstract:
Paraclinoid aneurysms continue to present a surgical challenge, even in the modern endovascular era. Although these aneurysms are uncommon, surgical clipping remains the treatment of choice in select cases. Successful surgical management requires both extensive experience and a comprehensive understanding of paraclinoid anatomy. In this report, we outline our approach to planning and surgical techniques for managing paraclinoid aneurysms.
