- Abstract
The clipping of aneurysms of the basilar artery represents a surgical challenge for neurosurgeons due to the exposition depth, space limitation by surrounding bone, ventral location of the neuroaxis and proximity to the brainstem. These vascular lesions constitute a complicated task to perform with high morbidity and mortality rates. Advances in microneurosurgery, neuroanesthesia, cerebral angiography, intensive care, intraoperative monitoring and new skull base surgery techniques have dramatically reduced complications. We present the case of a female patient undergoing surgical clipping of an aneurysm from the proximal basilar artery segment, in the vertebrobasilar junction using extreme lateral approach.
