Irving S. Cooper (1922-1985): a pioneer in functional neurosurgery.

abstract：:Saccular aneurysms arising at locations other than at arterial divisions are extremely rare. The authors describe eight such aneurysms that protruded from the dorsal wall of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and were unrelated to any arterial junction. Radical surgery was performed in all eight cases. The aneurysms we...
