Abstract
The long-term result of intracranial aneurysms treated by wrapping between 1961 and 1986 was reported. Twenty-one cases were treated by wrapping only, 11 by body clipping and wrapping, and 20 by body ligation and wrapping. These 52 cases were 2.7% of all directly operated aneurysm cases during this period. Among the 42 cases followed-up, rerupture occurred in only two cases, both of which were incompletely wrapped. It was therefore concluded that entire wrapping of aneurysm or residual portion of aneurysm after body clipping or body ligation resulted in a favorable outcome.
