Multiple intradural extramedullary tumours presenting with paraplegia after trauma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Complex aneurysm shape is a predominant risk factor for aneurysm rupture but its impact on clinical outcome after clipping remains unclear. The objective of the present study was to compare complications and morbidity after clipping of unruptured single-sac aneurysms (SSAs) and aneurysms with multiple sacs (...
