What is Combined Transsylvian‐subtemporal Exposure of Cerebral Aneurysms Involving the Basilar Apex about?

## Abstract The surgical repair of cerebral aneurysms involving the apex of the basilar artery continues to undergo refinement and evolution. The inherent difficulty in accessing the basilar apex as well as the complexities of the microanatomy render this area a notoriously hazardous and technically challenging region in which to perform microsurgical clipping of cerebral aneurysms. Several operative approaches have been described and are constantly undergoing a state of evolution in the hopes of optimizing the exposure of the distal basilar artery and minimizing the inherent risks of surgery. The consistent decline in operative morbidity has paralleled improved understanding of the microvascular anatomy, both in this region and along the various corridors of approach. No single operative approach is universally superior, considering the wide variability of individual patient anatomy and vascular configurations. Each approach has strengths, weaknesses, and potential complications that must be considered in the thought process of planning an operative attack on a basilar apex aneurysm. Intimate familiarity with the microvasculature and the microsurgical anatomy of the region is an i
