Microneurosurgical management of anterior communicating artery aneurysms.

BACKGROUND Anterior communicating artery complex is the most frequent site of intracranial aneurysms in most reported series.

Endovascular management of vertebrobasilar artery dissecting aneurysms.

AIM The prognosis of VBA aneurysms seems poor and surgical management of VBA dissecting aneurysms is challenging. We evaluated our endovascular experience in management of ruptured and unruptured VBA dissecting aneurysms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eleven consecutive patients with eleven VBA aneurysms (3 ruptured and 8 unruptured) between 2008 and 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Immed...
