  • Title: Cranio-orbital approach for the paraclinoidal and anterior communicating aneurysms.
    Author: de Souza JM, Rodrigues FF, da Silva MR, Maron R, Martins L, do Souto AA, Lima LS.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 1995 Sep; 53(3-B):592-7. PubMed ID: 8585815.
    Abstract:
    Aneurysms arising at the proximal intracranial carotid artery (between cavernous sinus and posterior communicating artery) and at the anterior communicating complex may present with technical difficulties regarding appropriate access without excessive brain retraction. In a series of 15 patients the authors show the use of the cranio-orbital approach, formerly designed in the access of skull base tumors, for these subgroups of aneurysms. They discuss the advantages of a basal avenue in minimizing brain retraction, better anatomical orientation, obviation of tissue ressection and easier extra-dural bone removal. It was not identified any complication due to the described approach.
