Abstract

Two cases with vertebral and basilar aneurysms arising at midline on the lower clivus, which were operated on by the transoral transclival approach, are reported. The transclival approach seems to be the most satisfactory for cases with aneurysms in this location, as it offers direct exposure of aneurysms and the surrounding structures without retraction of the brain-stem and cranial nerves or vessels.
