title: Memory performances after anterior communicating artery aneurysm surgery.
abstract: 10 patients operated on for anterior communicating artery aneurysm (ACoA) underwent to neuropsychological examination one year after surgery, in order to detect eventual behavioural and/or amnestic disorders, already described by others in a wide percentage of such patients. Even if after accurate neurological examination the therapeutic results were defined as "good", 60% circa of our patients present amnestic and/or behavioural disturbances. Possible correlations between neuropsychological tests finding and intraoperative occurrences (early aneurysm rupture, gyrectomy etc.) are considered and discussed.
