Abstract

Aneurysms in this location make up 40% of all aneurysms reported in major clinical series and 24% in anatomical studies. The supraclinoid carotid artery has a complex relationship with the structures that surround it, including the optic nerve, the third cranial nerve, the base of the temporal and frontal lobes, and the cavernous sinus from which it arises.
