    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the efficacy and method of microsurgery for aneurysm on the top of basilar artery. METHODS: The investigators analyzed retrospectively the clinical data of 8 microsurgical patients with aneurysm on the top of basilar artery from May 2007 to September 2010. There were 5 males and 3 females with an average age of 52.6 years old. Six of 8 cases underwent clipping of aneurysm while other 2 patients received superficial temporal artery-radial artery-posterior cerebral artery bypass grafting surgery and clipping of aneurysm. RESULTS: On the basis of GOS (Glasgow outcome score), the postoperative recovery was excellent in 7 patients. And 1 patient suffered insufficiency of oculomotor nerve similarly as preoperatively. CONCLUSION: The surgical procedures for aneurysm of basilar artery are so complicated as to lead to many complications. A wise choice of operative approaches may yield a better outcome.
