title: A case of acute vertigo with incidental aneurysms.
abstract: It is essential to decrease the risk to the patient to an absolute minimum when prophylactic procedures are offered against a relatively unpredictable (for the individual patient) natural history risk. Very careful preoperative planning and intraoperative execution are mandatory to maximize the chances of the patient for a successful outcome.
