[Aneurysms of the posterior cerebral artery: comparison of a retrospective series of surgically-treated patients with endovascularly-treated patients from the literature].
Subarachnoid hemorrhages caused by rupture of an aneurysm of the posterior cerebral artery are very rare. The surgical treatment of these aneurysms by clipping is studied in a retrospective series. Recent data from the literature seem to confirm good results when these aneurysms are treated by endovascular techniques. The results from the surgical series are compared with the results from the endovascular series. The endovascular treatment seems to become more important for the future.
