Microsurgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage from an intracranial aneurysm is a frequently fatal but potentially curable problem. Surgery is done to prevent further hemorrhage and it allows for the aggressive treatment of vasospasm. This article reports one surgeon's experience in the past year with early intervention and microsurgical ligation of 19 aneurysms in 17 consecutive patients. There were 11 good results, 6 fair results, 1 poor result and 1 death. No patient has re-bled following surgery.

Traumatic aneurysm of the intrathoracic left carotid artery with cerebral embolization.

The presentation and management of a young male patient with a traumatic aneurysm of the intrathoracic portion of the left common carotid artery from a football injury, complicated by cerebral embolization, is detailed. At operation 6 weeks afterward the aneurysm was isolated and ligated and the patient was discharged 19 days postoperation with plans for physical and speech rehabilitation. At 14 months a chronic subdural hematoma which caused some seizures was removed, and the patient's neurologic status is continuing to improve. This appears to be the first report of an isolated blunt injury to this branch of the aortic arch.
