The presigmoid approach can be used to treat vertebrobasilar artery aneurysms when circumstances require more operative exposure. High morbidity and mortality in these cases have been… (More)
Estrogen deficiency is thought to be responsible for the higher frequency of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in post- than premenopausal women. Estrogen replacement therapy appears to reduce this… (More)
Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is a rare vascular lesion. Bleeding from CPA is uncommon, but the risk of rebleeding is high once it bleeds. We describe a case of CPA with multiple intra- and… (More)
BACKGROUND
The basilar bifurcation aneurysm (BBA) is still considered to be one of the most challenging aneurysms for micro- and endovascular surgery. Classic surgical approaches, such as… (More)
INTRODUCTION
Epidemiological studies suggest that postmenopausal estrogen deficiency is responsible for the increased risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, while menopausal hormone therapy is… (More)
