Abstract

The authors present the results of surgical treatment of a consecutive series of 100 cases of intra cranial aneurysm. The results are analysed in relation to various factors such as the pre-operative delay, the clinical status, the location of the aneurysm and the age of the patient. Altogether, the percentage of excellent and good results is 83%. Bad results account for 10% of the total and deaths represent 7%. Shunted postoperative hydrocephalus was recorded in 10% of cases and half were due to aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. Postoperative spasm (16%) was the severest complication, responsible for more than half the deaths.
