Abstract:
:Some intracranial aneurysms that might be considered inoperable by open craniotomy are readily treatable by stereotaxic thrombosis. This is possible because the stereotaxic technique requires only that some point on the fundus of the aneurysm can be punctured with a needle. Illustrative cases are given describing the successful treatment of aneurysms arising at the origin of the ophthalmic artery, within the cavernous sinus, within the sella turcica, and from the vertebrobasilar and the posterior inferior cerebellar arteries ventral to the brain stem. The aneurysms within the sella or cavernous sinus can be approached through the sphenoid sinus, and the aneurysms ventral to the brain stem can be approached through the clivus without opening the dura.
