Abstract

We experienced two cases of surgical clipping of intracerebral unruptured aneurysms, in which compression of the penetrating branch by the clip head caused an ischemic change. Perforator branch compression by the clip head may occur after clipping of an aneurysm and it worsens the prognosis if left untreated. In Case 1, motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring was effective during surgery, and in Case 2, the confirmation of neurological findings was helpful after surgery. Early detection and retreatment may improve prognosis, and based on this case, we will report on how to deal with this problem.
