Abstract
Carotid ophthalmic artery aneurysms are of special interest because the direct microsurgical clipping procedure requires a special surgical strategy and technique. Worthy of mention are temporary internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion in the neck, temporary clipping of the carotid artery near the cavernous sinus, retrograde or direct evacuation of the aneurysm, special (fenestrated) clips, removal of the clinoid process and the roof of the optic canal, and precise knowledge of the anatomy in the cavernous sinus and the relationship of the clinoid process to the internal carotid artery.
