Abstract
✓ The results of 61 cases of stereotaxic thrombosis of intracranial berry aneurysms indicate that the technique in selected cases is comparable to, but not necessarily superior to standard surgical methods. The results of wire-induced thrombosis in 15 cases of giant intracranial aneurysm suggest that this method is effective in situations where clipping and encapsulation are inapplicable. The results of thrombosis in six cases of carotid cavernous fistula suggest that intracavernous wire thrombosis may prove to be the treatment of choice in that it seals the fistula without impairing carotid blood flow.
