title: [Surgical treatment of aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery using Yasargil's approach].
abstract: The results of surgical treatment in 19 cases of aneurysms of the anterior communicating artery from the approach described by Yasargil are described. In 16 patients the pedicle of the aneurysm was closed with a clip, in 2 cases the anterior communicating artery was excluded from the circulation by trapping, and in only 1 patient the aneurysm was enclosed in muscle and gazue. Control angiography demonstrated in 16 cases exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation with maintenance of the patency of the main vessels, and in one case the sac of the aneurysm was partly shadowed. Good results were obtained in 80% of cases. One patient died (5%). Complications with development of Korsakoff's syndrome were observed in 3 patients (15%). The advantages of the approach described by Yasargil for the exposure and safe management of anterior communicating artery aneurysms are stressed.
