Blister Aneurysms of the Internal Carotid Artery: Microsurgical Results and Management Strategy.

abstract：OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE:Epithelial cysts of the central nervous system are unusual entities, with the majority reported to occur in the spinal canal. More unusual is the intracranial presentation, which shows a predilection for midline localization in the posterior fossa, brainstem, and suprasellar regions. This repor...
