title: [Space reconstruction of the aneurysms of the vertebrobasilary confluence based on conventional angiography--our experience].
abstract: Besides current development of the new diagnostic procedures conventional angiography still represents the golden standard in the diagnosing of intracranial aneurysms. Since it gives a two-dimensional image if the presentation of the third dimension is wanted it is necessary to apply appropriate algorithm structures and computers. In this study we show our experience in the application of space reconstruction of blood vessels and aneurysms of the vertebrobasilary confluence in 6 patients operated at the Institute for Neurosurgery, Clinical Center of Serbia. Intraoperative finding in all patients matched the finding that we got by space reconstruction of the blood vessels, which was possible to observe from different angles. Postoperative course in all patients was satisfying. Upon discharge the patients were without rough lateralization of the pyramidal system. Our initial results and their practical agreement with the interoperative finding give us right to recommend this method as the standard for the preoperative diagnostic protocol.
