Microsurgical Clipping of an Unruptured Carotid Cave Aneurysm: 3-D Operative Video

Highlights • Video demonstration of clip occlusion of a carotid cave aneurysm • This approach highlights the importance of anterior clinoidectomy and distal dural ring dissection to aid the clipping in this anatomic location. • Use of fibrin glue to control venous bleeding from the cavernous sinus s...

Summary:Highlights • Video demonstration of clip occlusion of a carotid cave aneurysm • This approach highlights the importance of anterior clinoidectomy and distal dural ring dissection to aid the clipping in this anatomic location. • Use of fibrin glue to control venous bleeding from the cavernous sinus simplifies the procedure and reduces the handling of the adjacent optic nerve.
