Multiple intracranial aneurysms: surgical treatment and outcome.
We report a series of 41 patients with multiple intracranial aneurysms, analyzing them by type of surgical treatment and prognosis. We compare our findings with those of the largest published series and draw conclusions regarding the most appropriate treatment. The upshot would seem to be that morbidity and mortality depend chiefly on whether the aneurysms are bilateral or unilateral and on the patient's pre-operative status.
