Treatment of ruptured lenticulostriate artery aneurysms.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Surgery for low-grade gliomas (LGGs) aims to achieve maximal tumor removal and maintenance of patients' functional integrity. Because extent of resection is one of the factors affecting the natural history of LGGs, surgery could be extended further than total resection toward a supratotal resection, beyond tu...
