  • Title: Clipping vs coiling of posterior communicating artery aneurysms with third nerve palsy.
    Author: Ahn JY, Han IB, Yoon PH, Kim SH, Kim NK, Kim S, Joo JY.
    Journal: Neurology; 2006 Jan 10; 66(1):121-3. PubMed ID: 16401861.
    Abstract:
    The authors investigated the evolution of third nerve palsy in patients with posterior communicating artery aneurysms who underwent coiling vs clipping. There was no statistical difference of complete third nerve palsy recovery in both treatments. Both techniques were of clinical benefit. Older age, diabetes, delayed interventions, and complete third nerve palsy at presentation indicated a poor prognosis for recovery.
