Surgical Management of Intracranial Aneurysms and Subarachnoid Haemorrhage : An Overview
Abstract
Egas Moniz discovered an aneurysm by cerebral Angiography in 1933.1
Cushing introduced first aneurysmal clip in 1911, Mayfield modified the existing spring clip with cross leg (Schwartz) by making it a smaller, tweezer – like applicator.2
An intracranial vascular procedure was first repor-ted with aid of operating microscope which introduced simultaneously magnification and illumination.3
Dott in 1933performed 1st planned intracranial surgery for a saccular aneurysm.4
Dandy in 1937 clipped the neck of aneurysm with a metallic clip.5
Yasirgill of Zurich and Drake of London Ontario, published a lot onaneurysms of anterior & posterior circulation.6,7
An elaborated study of natural history of aneurysm was published by the pakarinen in 196.78
