Ruptured distal middle cerebral artery aneurysm

Abstract

This study of nine patients with distal MCA aneurysms is the largest series to date. Eight lesions were saccular aneurysms that were clipped and the remaining one was a mycotic aneurysm that was trapped. Eight of the nine patients suffered cerebral hematomas with subarachnoid hemorrhage. All patients had good outcomes after obliteration of their aneurysm, although their preoperative condition was not good.
