Abstract

This paper summarizes the clinical presentation, location, surgical management, and results in 32 patients with cerebral aneurysms. Surgical mortality has been 21.9% for aneurysms (all grades). For good risk aneurysms (Botterell 1 and 2), the surgical death rate was 8.0% (2/25). Clinical presentations and techniques of treatment are summarized.
