  • Title: How I do it-the eyebrow approach for anterior circle of Willis aneurysms.
    Author: Aldea S, Cômes PC, Gaillard S.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2018 Sep; 160(9):1749-1753. PubMed ID: 30051158.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The eyebrow approach is a keyhole technique that gives a wide access to the anterior circle of Willis. METHODS: A 4-cm linear incision is placed in the upper limit of the eyebrow and a small supraorbital bone flap is raised. A wide arachnoid dissection is essential to maximize the working space. One or multiple aneurysms may be treated by the same approach. CONCLUSIONS: The eyebrow approach is a safe technique for selected aneurysms of the anterior circle of Willis.
