Abstract

Five cases of aneurysm of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) are reported. All patients presented with SAH. Four cases were operated from the subtemporal approach, and one from occipital interhemispheric route. Three aneurysms were treated by clipping, and two by closing of the PCA (trapping and proximal clipping). Four patients had either excellent or good outcome. One patient died (meningitis). The operative tactics are discussed in relation to the anatomy of PCA.
