Abstract

Multiple intracranial aneurysms present many difficulties in surgical judgement as to when and which of them should be operated on first. The authors suggest that all should be dealt with at one sitting and describe microsurgical and anaesthetic techniques. Four consecutive cases were treated in this manner with satisfactory result. The method of approach to the aneurysms, lumbar drainage, hypotension and late or no blood transfusion are the essentials in the techniques described.
