Surgical case series of multiple aneurysms: A single-centre experience of 16 years

Abstract

IntroductionMultiple aneurysms are present in 10% in patients with intracranial aneurysms. An analysis of the literature, focusing on the different treatments, and a description of our experience are performed. Presentation of case seriesA surgical series with multiple intracranial aneurysms from 2000 to 2016, describing demographic, radiological and clinical features, is showed. In all patients a pre- and post-operative angiography was performed and surgical treatment, based on accurate indications, provided good outcomes in most cases. DiscussionSuccessful treatment of multiple intracranial aneurysms can be achieved by an interdisciplinary approach and the main factors influencing surgical treatment are discussed. ConclusionsSurgery always remains a definitive treatment and, considering intrinsic lesional features and patient’s characteristics, it offers good results for intracranial multiple aneurysms.
