Background: Basilar apex (BX) aneurysms are surgically challenging due to their anatomic location, need to traverse neurovascular structures, and proximity to multiple perforator arteries. Surgical approaches often require extensive bone resection and neurovascular manipulation. Visualization of low-lying BX aneurysms is typically obscured by the posterior clinoid and upper clivus and poses a unique challenge. Subtemporal or anterolateral approaches with a posterior clinoidectomy are often required to achieve adequate exposure, though these maneuvers can add invasiveness, risk, and morbidity to the procedure. Endoscopes and, more recently, fluoroscopic angiography capable endoscopes offer the possibility of providing improved visualization with less exposure allowing for minimally invasive clipping. Case Description: We present the case of a 42-year-old female with incidentally found 5 mm middle cerebral artery and 5 mm BX aneurysms. She underwent a minimally invasive supraorbital keyhole craniotomy for the clipping of both aneurysms. While the posterior clinoid obstructed the necessary visualization for the BX aneurysm, use of endoscopy and endoscopic fluoroscopic angiography allowed for safe and successful clipping without the need for a posterior clinoidectomy. Conclusion: This represents the first reported case of a BX aneurysm clipping through a minimally invasive keyhole craniotomy using endoscopic indocyanine green video angiography. Use of endoscopic indocyanine green angiography, combined with keyhole endoscopic approaches, allows for safe minimally invasive clipping of challenging posterior circulation aneurysms.

AbstractAneurysmal surgeries are high-risk procedures due to potential for occurrence of fatal perioperative complications. This risk is exaggerated in the presence of co-existing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). It involves asymmetrical hypertrophy of left ventricle with mitral valve dysfunction, leading to left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Various perioperative factors may precipitate this obstruction resulting in life-threatening consequences. We report the management of a patient with HCM undergoing anterior communicating artery aneurysm clipping and discuss the anesthetic concerns. Comprehensive approach with careful drug selection, vigilant monitoring, and preparedness for complications enabled patient safety and a good neurological outcome.

Objective: Navigation systems create a connection between imaging data and intraoperative situs, allowing the surgeon to consistently determine the location of instruments and patient anatomy during the surgical procedure. The best results regarding the target registration error (measurement uncertainty) are normally demonstrated using fiducials. This study aimed at investigating a new registration strategy for an electromagnetic navigation device. Methods: For evaluation of an electromagnetic navigation system and comparison of registration with screw markers and automatic registration, we are calculating the target registration error in the region of the paranasal sinuses/anterior and lateral skull base with the use of an electromagnetic navigation system and intraoperative digital volume tomography (cone-beam computed tomography). We carried out 10 registrations on a head model (total n = 150 measurements) and 10 registrations on 4 temporal bone specimens (total n = 160 measurements). Results: All in all, the automatic registration was easy to perform. For the models that were used, a significant difference between an automatic registration and the registration on fiducials was evident for just a limited number of screws. Furthermore, the observed differences varied in terms of the preferential registration procedure. Conclusion: The automatic registration strategy seems to be an alternative to the established methods in artificial and cadaver models of intraoperative scenarios. Using intraoperative imaging, there is an option to resort to this kind of registration as needed.
