Abstract

                      Base on "minimally invasive and key hole concept", a supraorbito-orbital keyhole approach to the anterior communicating artery aneurysms is described. The main advantages of this technique are that it involves simple and rapid craniotomy, a short distance to the aneurysm, less brain retraction, better surgical orientation, and gaining control of both A, segments before disturbing the aneurysm. This approach has been used in 57 consecutive cases during the year 1998-2000. The overall results were excellent and good in 42 cases, fair in 5 cases, poor in 2 and death supervened in 8 cases. The mortality rate in 4 acute operation cases was '7.0 percent and 7.0 percent in 4 delayed cases.
