‘What’s in a name’, a systematic review of the pterional craniotomy for aneurysm surgery and its many modifications with a proposal for simplified nomenclature

ConclusionThis systematic review gives an overview of the different techniques and modifications to the pterional craniotomy since it was initially described. We advocate for the use of a more standardised nomenclature that focuses on the target zone to simplify the management approach to supratentorial aneurysms.
