    Author: Mineura K, Kodama N, Suzuki J.
    Journal: No Shinkei Geka; 1979 Mar; 7(3):233-7. PubMed ID: 440522.
    Abstract:
    Six cases of carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm submitted to direct operation were studied. 1. One out of six cases died postoperatively (mortality rate 16.7%). 2. Exposure of the internal carotid artery at the neck is absolutely necessary for its temporary occlusion. Temporary occlusion of the internal carotid artery at the neck makes the dissection of the aneurysmal neck easier and prevents the aneurysmal rupture during operation. 3. To cope with various complicated handlings, bifrontal carniotomy is recommended. 4. In order to make easy the dissection of the aneurysmal neck, the unroofing of the optic canal as well as the extensive removal of the tip of the anterior clinoid should be performed. 5. From our experience as well as review of the literature, the surgical result of the giant aneurysms is bad. Some new therapy is expected to be developed for the giant aneurysm of this site.
