Focused opening of the Sylvian fissure for the management of middle cerebral artery aneurysms.

Conclusion: The focused opening of the SF is a less invasive technique for the management of MCA bifurcation aneurysms. However, some extra considerations should be taken for large or giant aneurysms in which a wide opening of the SF might be required for a proper aneurysm manipulation, and for those deep MCA bifurcation aneurysms close to the internal carotid artery bifurcation, in which an anterograde dissection of the MCA might be more suitable.
