Carotico-opthalmic giant aneurysm surgical approach, can you tell me more?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Surgery/endovascular: These are complex aneurysms which can be difficult to treat with open surgery. They are more likely to be treated with endovascular(catheter based) techniques than open surgery nowadays. If you're asking about the precise type of surgical approach which we use, this is most often a pterional or orbitozygomatic craniotomy to expose and clip the aneurysm.
