Article Abstract

Paraclinoid aneurysms continue to present a surgical challenge, even in the modern endovascular era. Although these aneurysms are uncommon, surgical clipping remains the treatment of choice in select cases. Successful surgical management requires both extensive experience and a comprehensive understanding of paraclinoid anatomy. In this report, we outline our approach to planning and surgical techniques for managing paraclinoid aneurysms.

Fungal pseudoaneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare, life-threatening complications of invasive fungal sinusitis, particularly in immunocompromised patients. These pseudoaneurysms typically occur in the cavernous segment due to its proximity to the sphenoid sinus and often present with massive epistaxis or neurological deficits. The supraclinoid ICA segment is a rare location for these aneurysms and carries risks of both intracranial and sinonasal hemorrhage.

Objective: The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) provides a ventral surgical corridor, which can be advantageous in the management of carefully selected cerebral aneurysms. The literature lacks large series to better delineate the indications and limitations of this technique. The aim of this study was to elucidate the technique's safety, indications, advantages, and limitations, as well as its evolution over time.

Superior hypophyseal artery aneurysms are rare. Symptomatic superior hypophyseal artery aneurysm commonly presents with subarachnoid hemorrhage, uncommonly with cranial nerve deficits, and very rarely with visual impairment. Microsurgical management of such aneurysms is quite complex considering the anatomical structures in the paraclinoid region.

Purpose: Flow-diverter stents (FDSs) are being increasingly used for endovascular treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms. However, their impact on ophthalmic artery (OA) flow and retinal microvasculature remains unclear. Using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), we evaluated the microvascular changes after FDS placement on the OA.
