We discussed management strategies for unruptured aneurysms by an analysis of 62 treated and 48 un-treated cases.

The treated cases were divided into the following two groups ; Group A consisted of 38 patients with 46aneurysms treated during our initial 13 years (7 males, 31 females, 54±9 years old), and Group B of 24 pa-tients with 32 aneurysms (8 males, females 16, 57±9 years old) during the last 3 years.

In Group A, 36 patients were treated with neck clipping, except for two patients, who had giantaneurysms treated with internal carotid ligation and bypass surgery. All the patients in Group B were tre-ated with either clipping or endovascular coil embolization.

Our indications for coil embolization include patients with aneurysms located in paraclinoid internalcarotid or basilar arteries, or with multiple aneurysms requiring more than one operation, or with a syste-mic risky disease for general anesthesia.

In group A, 2.6% of cases resulted in death during operation and 10.3% of cases resulted in morbidity,while in group B, there was neither mortality nor morbidity caused by clipping, except for a patient withmild hemiparesis who had been treated with clipping for SAH caused by a procedure of coil embolization. The 50 aneurysms of 48 untreated patients have been observed without any neurosurgical treatment dur-ing periods of 6 months to 10 years with a mean of 2 years 7 months. Eventually, four aneurysms resultedin SAH, which cases were treated with emergency clipping or coil embolization.

The high rupture rate (3.1% per year) in the natural history may suggest that some aneurysms are morelikely to rupture than generally considered.

We also reviewed operative findings of all entry clipping cases ; more than 80 percent of aneurysms, in-cluding those measuring less than 5 mm in diameter, had red colored, thin wall domes with or withoutbleb. Our conclusion is that surgical indications are for a complementary use of clipping and coil emboliza-tion.
