Summary
A novel transcortical transventricular approach successfully treated a difficult P2 segment aneurysm. This technique offers a safer, wider surgical corridor compared to traditional methods for complex cerebral aneurysms.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Vascular Neurology
- Cerebrovascular Surgery
Background:
- Posterior circulation (P2) aneurysms pose significant surgical challenges.
- Conventional subtemporal approaches may involve extensive brain retraction, risking neurological injury.
