Abstract
Introduction: The management of cerebral aneurysms has evolved over the centuries. This review provides a summary of how medical, endovascular and surgical management has been developed in the approach to these pathologies that cause great morbidity and mortality in the population.
Objective: To evaluate the medical, endovascular, and surgical management of ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms over time, from the first times they were treated to the innovations that are being carried out.
Methods: A review of articles searched in the PubMed database was carried out, searching for Mesh Terms with selected words related to the topic.
Study Design: Review.
Methods: Selection of studies with PubMed keywords, and according to consensus of all authors. Data extraction in Rayyan.
Keywords: subarachnoid hemorrhage, microaneurysm, neurosurgery, endovascular procedures.
