Emergency microsurgical trapping, decompression, and revascularization of a middle cerebral artery dissecting aneurysm using a minipterional approach in a pediatric patient: illustrative case
Emergency treatment may be necessary when signs of lesion instability or hemodynamic compromise are present; however, a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation is required. Treatment of complex vascular lesions using a minipterional approach is feasible even in pediatric patients, and delayed bypass occlusion may be a benign phenomenon reflecting gradual blood flow reorganization. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24484.
