Mini-pterional and supraorbital keyhole craniotomies for ruptured anterior circulation aneurysms: Experience at a single center

A keyhole craniotomy is a type of pterional craniotomy that involves a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Currently, the mini-pterional keyhole craniotomy (MPKC) and supraorbital keyhole craniotomy (SOKC) procedures are frequently performed. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of SOKCs and MPKCs for the clipping of ruptured intracranial aneurysms in the anterior cerebral circulation as an alternative to the pterional approach in a consecutive series of 25 patients.
