Anatomic Features and Clinical Outcomes of 48 Distal Anterior Cerebral Artery Aneurysms

Conclusions: There are no statistical significant difference of clinical outcomes in 3 different anatomic locations, but 6 mortalities with initial poor grade were treated by clipping and were caused by severe cerebral vasospasm, sepsis, and pneumonia(P=0.0388). Therefore, if initial Glasgow Coma Scale was good and the dome to neck ratio of aneurysm was>2.0, endovascular coil embolization may be the best option of treatment of distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysms.
