Frontotemporal craniotomy with orbital osteotomy for superior hypophyseal artery aneurysm clipping.

Superior hypophyseal artery (SHA) aneurysms are rare paraclinoid aneurysms with a mortality rate as high as 3%-6%. Surgical clipping of these aneurysms is technically challenging due to the surrounding anatomy. The large size and complicated surrounding anatomy make endovascular coiling very difficult. Here we present the case of a ruptured right SHA aneurysm. The authors present technical nuances of the clipping using an exoscope rather than a traditional microscope.
