Modified Orbitozygomatic Craniotomy, Anterior Clinoidectomy, and Retrograde Suction Decompression “Dallas Technique” for Large Unruptured Clinoidal-Ophthalmic Segment Aneurysm
Authors
We describe the case of a 60-year-old female who presented with left-sided visual loss and a giant unruptured clinoidal-ophthalmic segment aneurysm with extradural and intradural components. The patient underwent an orbitopterional craniotomy, anterior clinoidectomy, and distal dural ring dissection. The aneurysm was trapped and retrograde suction decompression via the “Dallas Technique” was employed for safe clip reconstruction of the aneurysm. The technical considerations regarding the suction decompression technique to treat giant paraclinoid aneurysms are reviewed.
