Abstract
Despite advancements in endovascular techniques, microsurgical treatment for posterior circulation aneurysms remains challenging. This report highlights the successful clipping surgery of a 17-year-old female patient with an aneurysm located at the basilar artery (BA) bifurcation and left anterior choroidal artery (AChoA). To improve exposure, the posterior communicating artery was transected. A straight fenestrated clip was then placed to repair the BA bifurcation aneurysm, followed by a curved mini clip for the AChoA aneurysm. This report demonstrates the nuances of microsurgery in the treatment of select complex cases, which can benefit from microsurgery to achieve optimal treatment outcomes.
