Paraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysm treatment
Because of the complex anatomical association among vascular, dural, and bony structures, paraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms remain a major challenge for vascular neurosurgeons.
see 1).
Stent-assisted coiling has been increasingly used to treat paraclinoid aneurysms.
The durability of obliteration is still to be determined. Therefore, direct surgery for paraclinoid aneurysms still remains indispensable.
Due to their complex anatomical relationship at the skull base and because they are frequently large/giant, their surgical treatment remains a challenge.
It is important to determine the exact location of the paraclinoid aneurysm when considering treatment options.
The endoscopic transnasal approach provides excellent visualization of the paraclinoid region vasculature and offers potential surgical alternative for paraclinoid aneurysms 2).
