[Aneurysms of the distal anterior cerebral artery].
The clinical, angiographic and surgical features of 13 (out of 18) patients harboring pericallosal aneurysms and operated on by the same group of neurosurgeons, are analyzed. The mortality rate of the whole series was 5.5% with good (GOS II) or excellent (GOS I) recovery in the 91.7% of cases. According to the experience of the authors pericallosal aneurysms should not be considered to have a worse prognosis than aneurysms in other locations of the anterior circulation.
