A new transzygomatic anterior subtemporal approach offers a suitable surgical option for high-lying basilar bifurcation aneurysms. This minimally invasive technique provides good recovery rates for complex cerebrovascular cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Neurosurgery
  • Cerebrovascular Surgery

Background:

  • Basilar bifurcation aneurysms, particularly those high in the interpeduncular cistern, present significant surgical challenges.
  • Traditional approaches often involve complex procedures, necessitating innovative techniques for improved patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A novel surgical approach utilizing a small anterior temporal craniotomy and zygomatic arch detachment was developed.
  • This technique allows for direct exposure of the internal carotid artery, posterior cerebral artery, and related structures.

Findings:

  • The transzygomatic anterior subtemporal approach was successfully performed in 12 patients with high-lying basilar bifurcation aneurysms.
  • Eight patients achieved good recovery (Glasgow Outcome Scale), while four had moderate disability correlating with preoperative WFNS grade.

Implications:

  • This approach is a viable and effective option for treating complex, high-lying basilar bifurcation aneurysms.
  • The technique may offer improved outcomes and reduced morbidity for select neurosurgical patients.
