The mechanismus of recurrence and enlargement of 16 cerebral aneurysms
have been analyzed: 2 dissecting aneurysms, 6 fully grown aneurysms a
fter neck clipping, 1 case after treatment with dome clip, 3 ruptured
aneurysms that developed at the same sites and 4 cases that developed
at other sites. From our investigation we concluded it was fundamental
ly important that the factor of the elastic lamina interna must attach
in whole around the neck with precise neck clipping or adequate tight
embolization involving positioning of the remaining elastica lamina i
nterna in coil embolization.
