Abstract

Background - After surgery for ruptured anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm, several patients who have achieved a favorable neurological outcome yet have been observed to suffer from a poor cognitive outcome. The aim of this study was to explore the possible effects of temporary clip applications on frontal lobe functions in the patients with ruptured ACoA aneurysm.
