Abstract

Middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm is one of the most popular cerebral aneurysm. MCA aneurysm located in the superficial region of the brain and had relative wide neck, therefore it is usually selected to operate directly. The surgery of MCA aneurysm is basic and good case for young neurosurgeons. However, there are some tips and pitfalls in the surgery of MCA aneurysm. Preoperative simulation using 3D CT angiography is useful for avoiding the pitfalls. The preservation of veins reads good surgeons and preparation of premature rupture is necessary. We emphasize the importance of sharing the experience of surgery each other because the cases of surgery was decreasing recently.
