Preservation of the middle meningeal artery during unruptured aneurysm surgery: an independent risk factor for postoperative chronic subdural hematoma
Myungsoo Kim
Abstract:BackgroundAlthough microsurgical clipping for unruptured aneurysms has become safer and more efficient with modern neurosurgical advances, postoperative chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) persists as an underrecognized complication. This study investigated the association between preservation of the anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) during surgery and CSDH development.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 120 patients who underwent clipping for unruptured aneurysms at Kyungpook National Universit… Show more
