Isolated paraplegia from a remote stab wound.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The prognosis of giant aneurysms remains poor despite recent advances in microneurosurgery. Thick-walled and partially calcified giant aneurysms with an atheromatic base are difficult to clip safely. Special techniques allowing reshaping of the base and ensuring the stability of clips are often needed. We pre...
