Notes:
Summary A series of 16 cases of carotid-ophthalmic aneurysm treated by direct approach is reported and the following points are emphasized: the aneurysm was associated with signs of optic nerve compression in half of the cases. angiography did not always disclose the possibilities and the hazards of direct surgery. indirect surgery (common carotid ligation) did not prevent the aneurysm from growing or restore useful vision. On the other hand, ligation of the aneurysmal neck or local trapping, where necessary, followed by removal of the aneurysm resulted in marked improvement of impaired vision. The hazard of ophthalmic artery occlusion is stressed.
