RARE M2-M3 JUNCTION ANEURYSM OPERATED AT IVY HOSPITAL MOHALI BY DR VINEET SAGGAR
Most of the aneurysms occur at the bifurcation of major vessels as we all know. MCA aneurysms generally occur at bifurcation of MCA (MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY) . However this aneurysm was at further branching of frontal division of MCA at M2-M3 junction and supplying frontal lobe . It posed a different challenges as aneurysm was embedded in frontal lobe paren chyma . Also vessels beyond bifurcation are very delicate and frontal and temporal trunks generally trifurcate or more hence aneurysm is surrounded by multiple delicate 1-2mm vessels . Clipping some times carries risk of kinking these vessels . In this case aneurysm was bilobed and was clipped using two clips to avoid kinking of trifurcation. Patient had uneventful recovery.
