abstract：:Aneurysms of the vertebro-basilar junction area have been considered the most difficult to be surgically treated because of their deep location, the proximity of the brain stem and the cranial nerves. However, at present, new endovascular techniques and new transbasal surgical approaches offer valuable management stra...
