Transoral-transclival clipping of a midline vertebral artery aneurysm.

E Hitchcock 1, R Cowie 1
PMCID: PMC1027396  PMID: 6101183

Abstract

The technical advantages and possible indications for a transoral-transclival approach for low midline posterior circulation aneurysms are discussed. A case report using such a route is described. The prognosis of untreated vertebro-basilar aneurysms is briefly discussed.
