Surgical Treatment of Aneurysms of the Anterior Wall of the Internal Carotid Artery 崔源生 台中榮民總醫院神經外科
Anatomy: • ICA:5 segments: • Cervical • Petrous • Cavernous • Clinoidal • Supraclinoid
Pathology: • No internal elastic lamina and media • The gap was covered with thin adventitia and fibrinous tissue, not composed of thick adventitia or collagenous tissue as ordinarily seen in an berry aneurysm wall
Pathogenesis: • Atherosclerosis: • (Stehbens,et al:The pathology of intracranial arterial aneurysms and their complications, Intracranial Aneursyms, 1983, Vol 1) • Dissecting:
Anterior Wall Aneurysm • Dorsal type, Blister-like aneurysm • Low incidence • Small size • Thin wall • No neck • High intraoperative bleeding rate • High morbidity & mortality
Diagnosis: • It’s difficult to detect anterior wall aneurysm on angiograms, in large part because of their small size and unusual location.(Shigeta et al, 6 (30%) negative in 20 pts) • It’s of great importance to evaluate collateral circulation because ICA sacrifice at surgery is relative common with these aneurysms.

Surgical management: • Possible trapping of parent artery • Exposure of cervical ICA for proximal control • Wide open of Sylvian fissure • Little frontal lobe traction • Clip placement parallel to the ICA axis • Necessary to catch the adjacent carotid artery wall with the neck • Temporary clipping to reduce aneurysm turgor • Clipping on wrapping • Endovascular may be an alternative option
