CEREBRAL ANEURYSMS: FROM CAROTID LIGATIONS TO COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

Pankaj K Singh

Abstract


With the advancements in modern microsurgical and endovascular techniques coupled with improved neuroanaesthetic approaches, the morbidity and mortality gures associated aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), have improved signicantly. Whereas most of the recent advancements in the neurological therapy of IAs have been achieved in the past 200 years, the journey of success began over 4000 years ago. In order to appreciate these breakthrough achievements, the
rst half of this manuscript discusses the temporal evolution of different diagnostic and treatment modalities for Ias.


Keywords
