1) Anterior circulation aneurysms are the most common type, accounting for 86.5% of all intracranial aneurysms. They often present with subarachnoid hemorrhage and have high rates of mortality.
2) CT, CTA, MRA and DSA are important diagnostic tools to detect aneurysms and plan treatment. The ISAT trial showed coiling to be as effective and safer than clipping for ruptured aneurysms.
3) Common anterior circulation aneurysm locations include the ACOM, PCOM, and MCA bifurcations. Surgical approaches depend on the specific location and include pterional craniotomy and lateral trans-sylvian approaches.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Moderators: Dr P Sarat Chandra
Dr Sumit Sinha
Presentor : Dr Sumit Bansal
2. INTRODUCTION
¢ Incidence of aneurysm difficult to estimate
¢ Prevalence 0.2-7.9 %
¢ Half of the aneurysms ruptures
¢ Incidence of aneurysmal rupture is 6-12 / 100,000

and management.
Brain 2001;124(Pt 2):249–78.
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
3. INTRODUCTION
¢ Overall mortality at 6 months: 40% - 50%
¢ 15% of patients expire before reaching the
hospital
¢ 25% die within 24 hours
¢ Only one third of those who survive have
functional independent lives.
Hop JW, Rinkel GJ, Algra A, et al. Case-fatality rates and functional outcome after subarachnoid
hemorrhage: a systematic review.
Stroke 1997;28: 660–4.
¢ Rebleed has a catastrophic morbidity : 48% to
78%
¢ Treatment of a ruptured aneurysm: imperative.

Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
8. SAH WORK-UP : CT SCAN
¢ Sensitivity decreases with respect to increased time
from ictus:
— 95% within the first 48 hours
— 80% at 72 hours
— 50% at 1 week
¢ Intraparenchymal hemorrhage may occur with MCA
and PCOM aneurysms
¢ Interhemispheric and intraventricular hemorrhages
may occur with ACOM aneurysms
¢ Outcome is worse for patients with extensive clots in
basal cisterns than for those with a thin diffuse
hemorrhage
¢ Helps rule out HCP
¢ Falsely negative
— Small hemorrhages
— Severe anemia
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
13. SAH WORK-UP : DSA
¢ Gold standard :80-85% sensitivity
¢ Surgical information:
— Cerebrovascular anatomy, aneurysm location & source of
bleeding
— Aneurysm size/shape/orientation of dome and neck
— Relation to the parent/perforating arteries
¢ If negative (10-20%): repeat test 3-4 weeks later
¢ May be useful to evaluate for possible cerebral
vasospasm
¢ 3-D reconstruction: invaluable-
— dome-to-neck ratio
— parent artery or branch orientation to neck
— enhances surgical view for clip placement and vessel
reconstruction
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
14. SAH WORK-UP : CTA
¢ Reported to detect aneurysms larger than 3 mm
¢ Sensitivity of 95% and 83% specificity.
¢ Provide sufficient anatomic detail especially
relation to near by bony structure
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
15. SAH WORK-UP: MRA
¢ Can detect aneurysms >3 mm with 86%
sensitivity
¢ Useful
— Monitoring the status of small, un ruptured
aneurysms
— Evaluate the degree of intramural thrombus in giant
aneurysms
— Screening high risk patients: including 1st degree
relative of patients with IC aneurysm
¢ False +ve 16%
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
16. UN-RUPTURED ANEURYSMS: WHY
TREATMENT
¢ Risk of SAH is 0.05-6 % each year
¢ 50 % rupture : fatal
¢ Increase in size >1 cm increases the risk 11 fold
ISUIA trial. N Engl J Med 1998;339:1725-33
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
17. TIMING OF SURGERY
¢ Anterior circulation: early surgery has good
results
Haley EC jr et al the international cooperative study on the timing
of aneurysm surgery; the north American experience.
Stroke 23:205-214;1992
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
18. ISAT TRIAL (LANCET 2005;360:1267-75)
¢ Prospective, randomized, controlled trial
¢ N = 2143 (ruptured intracranial aneurysms)
¢ The safety of endovascular coiling compared with
clipping
¢ Mortality or disability was 30.6 Vs 23.7 in surgical
and endovascular group at one year (p=0.0019)
— survival free of disability at 1 year is significantly better
with coiling
¢ Relative and absolute risk reduction in dependency or
death is 22.6 vs 6.9 % in surgical and endovascular
group
— coiling is more likely to result in independent survival at 1
year than clipping; the benefit continues for at least 7
years
¢ Risk of rebleed was higher in endovascular group at
one year
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
19. SURGICAL APPROACHES (ACA AND
ACOM)
¢ Pterional craniotomy
— usual approach
¢ Subfrontal approach
— useful for superiorly pointing aneurysm when there
is a large amount of frontal blood clot
¢ Anterior interhemispheric approach
— contraindicated for anteriorly pointing aneurysms as
the dome is approached first
¢ Trancallosal approach
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
20. Disadvantages:
¢ Temporalis muscle wasting
¢ Significant retraction on frontal lobe
¢ Need to open the slyvian fissure, which may be difficult in some
case (Fischer grade III & IV)
PTERIONAL CRANIOTOMY (GOLD
STANDARD)
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
21. CHOICE OF SIDE OF THE CRANIOTOMY
¢ A right Pterional craniotomy is used with the
following exceptions:
— Large ACom aneurysm pointing to the right
— Dominant left A1 feeder to aneurysm (with no filling
from the right A1)
— Additional left sided aneurysm
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
22. OPERATIVE APPROACH (DACA)
¢ Right anterior frontal Parasaggital craniotomy
for the interhemispheric approach
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
23. OPERATIVE APPROACH (MCA)
Lateral trans-sylvian approach
¢ For the unruptured and uncomplicated MCA
bifurcation aneurysm
¢ Exposes the dome first
Medial trans-sylvian approach
¢ For patients with short M1 segment, aneurysm arises
from the proximal M1 trunk or have a complicated
configuration with increased risk of rupture
Superior temporal Gyrus approach
¢ Advocated by Heros;
¢ For aneurysms A/W ICH
¢ The aneurysm is exposed through the hematoma
cavity in the sup temporal gyrus
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
24. INTRACAVERNOUS AND PARACLINOID
ANEURYSM
3 types:
• Cavernous segment
• Clinoidal segment
• Opthalmic segment
•Female : male = 9:1
•5-6 th decade
•incidental lesions/
mass effect
•multiplicity
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
25. CAVERNOUS SEGMENT ANEURYSM:
¢ Most clinically
significant aneurysms
arise from the
horizontal segment
and project forward
and laterally toward
the SOF below the
ACP
¢ cavernous sinus
syndrome
¢ Life threatening risks
are rare
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
26. CLINOIDAL SEGMENT ANEURYSM:
Anterolateral variant (can resemble opthalmic
artery aneurysm):
¢ erode ACP
¢ Monocular visual loss
¢ Large ones can compress optic chiasm
Medial variant (can resemble superior
Hypophyseal artery aneurysm ):
¢ Enlargement into the pituitary fossa
Hypopituitarism, may simulate Pituitary
apoplexy, epistaxis.
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
27. CLINOIDAL SEG-DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Projects dorsal and
lateral vs. dorsomedial
Projection of the
opthalmic aneurysm
Origination
proximal to the
take off of the
opthalmic artery
Angiographic waist
marking the
penetration dura
Narrow neck because
of COM Vs wide neck.
Double density
Anterolateral variant
Medial variant
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
28. OPTHALMIC SEGMENT ANEURYSM:
Opthalmic artery aneurysm
¢ Project dorsally compressing the Optic nerve
¢ Monocular nasal field defect is produced due to
superolateral compression of ON against falciform
ligament
Superior Hypophyseal artery aneurysm
¢ Arise from the inferomedial surface, burrow inferiorly
below the diaphragm sella, expanding the carotid
cave k/a parasellar variant
¢ Suprasellar variant has secondary suprasellar
extension
Dorsal variant
¢ Ophthalmic segment aneurysm
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
29. OPTHALMIC ARTERY ANEURYSM:
Arise dorsal to the ICA distal to
Opthalmic artery
No bony erosion as arise distal to ACP.
Produce hemorrhage in the
chiasmatic &Parasellar cistern.
Occasionally hematoma in the
orbitofrontal Gyrus.
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
30. SUPERIOR HYPOPHYSEAL ARTERY
ANEURYSM:
They arise below the plane of the ACP.
As the lesion expands and fills the suprasellar space, it may
venture across the midline.
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
31. OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES
¢ Proximal control is obtained at the cervical ICA
before craniotomy for the giant or complicated
aneurysms or for ruptured clinoid segment
lesions.
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
32. COMPLICATIONS OF PARACLINOID ANEURYSM
SURGERY
¢ Delayed ICA stenosis or thrombosis

¢ CSF rhinorrohea
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
33. PCOM ANEURYSM
¢ 50% of the ICA aneurysm
¢ Females
¢ SAH with a lateral suprasellar and ambient
cistern pattern
¢ Intraparenchymal haemorrhage into the uncus of
the temporal lobe, intraventricular haemorrhage
into the temporal horn or haemorrhage into the
subdural space can also occur
¢ Non pupil sparing occulomotor palsy
Anteriorcirculationaneurysm
34. ICA BIFURCATION ANEURYSM
¢ SAH
¢ may present with intraparenchymal
haemorrhage into the basal ganglia simulating
the hypertensive bleed
