Stereotaxic occlusion of 22 consecutive anterior communicating artery aneurysms

The authors review 22 consecutive cases of anterior communicating artery aneurysms treated by stereotaxic iron-acrylic occlusion. There was no mortality and no rebleeding in this series. The morbidity was low, and 16 of the 22 patients have returned to work. The patients whose aneurysmss could be treated transsphenoidally enjoyed the best outcome.
