Abstract

BROSSARD ALEJO, Julio S et al. Clipping of intracraneal aneurysm in a girl by means of microsurgery and assisted endoscopy. MEDISAN [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.3. ISSN 1029-3019.

The clinical case of a 12 year-old patient, affected by an intracraneal aneurysm of the right carotid bifurcation who had a satisfactory surgery by means of microsurgery with assisted endoscopy is exposed, since the use of this combined technique diminishes the craneotomies and brain retraction, it allows a better visualization during the surgical intervention and reduces the surgical morbility. This seems to be the first report in Cuba on the use of both procedures at the same time for the treatment of an intracraneal aneurysm in the childhood.

Keywords : INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM [surgery]; MICROSURGERY; ENDOSCOPY.
