title: Combined contralateral pterional and interhemispheric approach to a subchiasmal carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm.
abstract: A subchiasmal carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm was clipped through a combined contralateral pterional and interhemispheric approach. This combined approach seems very useful for some particular aneurysms of this portion because of no dead angle around the aneurysm and the minimum retraction required for the brain and optic nerve. Surgical approaches to subchiasmal carotidophthalmic aneurysms are discussed.
