Endoscopic brainwash after clipping a ruptured aneurysm of the communicating segment of the intracranial carotid artery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intracranial aneurysms are common vascular malformation occurring in 1-2% of the population and accounting for 80-85% of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhages. About 10% of the ruptured aneurysm causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SHA) develop intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). In this scenario, the external ventricular drain (EVD) is a usual treatment for IVH. To reduce the time for the clot absorption, the neuroendoscopy with clot removal and ventricular irrigation is a feasible option, although not routinely used.

Case description

This 2D video shows a case of a 60-year-old female, with sudden headache associated with nausea and vomit. The brain angiotomography revealed aneurysm in the communicating segment of the left internal carotid artery, with 10.5 mm of diam
