The incidence of and risk factors for ischemic complications after microsurgical clipping of unruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysms and the efficacy of intraoperative monitoring of somatosensory evoked potentials: A retrospective study

An increasing number of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) are now being detected owing to advancements in diagnostic imaging techniques. However, the management of UIAs remains controversial. According to the results of large multicenter studies, such as the International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms and International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial [1,2], more neurosurgeons are considering endovascular treatment as the first choice of treatment modality for intracranial aneurysms.
