Aneurysms at a temporopolar artery origin from the internal carotid artery: report of two cases.

abstract：OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE:The contralateral approach to internal carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysms has been used in selected cases but has rarely been described for a giant internal carotid artery aneurysm. We report a case of giant aneurysm that was successfully clipped via the contralateral pterional approach. CLIN...

abstract：OBJECTIVE:During the past decade, management of posterior circulation aneurysms has shifted away from microsurgery. Currently, microsurgical clipping is considered a primary, competitive alternative to endovascular coiling, or more commonly, a secondary alternative when endovascular therapy is unfavorable. We present a...
