Surgical treatment strategies for intracranial fusiform aneurysms secondary to cardiac myxomas: illustrative case

Treatment options for aneurysms encompass conservative management, embolization, radiation therapy, clipping, resection, and combined bypass procedures. Among the cases included this report, only 1 patient died during follow-up; the rest of the patients had a good prognosis. Although the natural course of unruptured, seemingly benign aneurysms seems favorable, many patients experience concurrent neurological symptoms. Aneurysm resection combined with M3-STA-M3 end-to-end anastomosis bypass is an effective treatment for fusiform aneurysms and reducing the risk of cerebral ischemia. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2590.
