The use of cranial base approaches to aneurysm surgery is illustrated by means of patient examples. Over a 9-year period, cranial base approaches were used to expose and treat 38 aneurysms involving the anterior communicating artery complex, proximal internal carotid artery, basilar artery, or vertebral artery. The approaches included orbital osteotomy, orbitozygomatic osteotomy, petrous apicectomy, presigmoid petrosectomy, and extreme lateral transcondylar methods. Complications related to the approaches included one partial ptosis and two cerebrospinal fluid leaks, which resolved with treatment. The technique of three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography was useful in delineating the vascular anatomy and its relation to the cranial base structures. This helped the surgeon plan the appropriate approach to the aneurysm. Cranial base approaches, used selectively, can provide improved exposure of deep-seated aneurysms and large or giant aneurysms, while minimizing brain retraction.
