Microsurgical Clip Obliteration of Middle Cerebral Aneurysm Using Intraoperative Flow Assessment
Published on: September 25, 2009
Abstract:
15 cases of cerebral aneurysms in children between 8 and 15 years of age, all operated upon in a 20-year span (1956--1976), are reported. 7 of them were the carriers of large aneurysms (3 'giant'). Surgical mortality was limited to 2 patients with aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery and large intracerebral hematomas. All other patients are in satisfactory conditions, with a follow-up ranging from 2 to 22 years. A direct approach to the aneurysm was used in all but 3 cases. Certain features of cerebral aneurysms in children are discussed pertinently to this series.
