Primary epileptogenic unruptured intracranial aneurysms: incidence and effect of treatment on epilepsy.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:A two-stage approach using orbitozygomatic (OZ) and retrosigmoid (RS) craniotomies is one option for the management of petroclival lesions with supratentorial extension. The goal of this study was to investigate the supratentorial and infratentorial exposures of the clivus obtained through this staged approac...
