Özet

Introduction: Surgical clipping of superior hypophyseal artery (SHA) aneurysms is a challenging task for neurosurgeons due to their close anatomical relationships. The development of endovascular techniques and the difficulty in surgery have led to a decrease in the number of surgical procedures and thus the experience of neurosurgeons in this region. In this study, we aimed to reveal the microsurgical anatomy of the ipsilateral and contralateral approaches to SHA aneurysms and define their limitations via morphometric analyses of radiological anatomy, three-dimensional (3D) modeling, and surgical illustrations.
