Our aim was to describe, in a reproducible fashion, an anatomy-driven sequence in the management of a ruptured ICA–PCoA aneurysm that visualized the posterior wall and a closing line parallel to the PCoA axis and which is placed within contemporary practice. Case Presentation: This is a single case study employing predetermined surgical techniques demonstrating a reproducible method of anatomical microsurgery applied to a posterior projecting ICA-PCoA aneurysm. The authors describe a 62-year-old female who was stabilized by nimodipine and aggressive blood pressure control in the systolic range 140–160 mmHg after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Diagnostic contrast catheter angiography showed a left ICA-PCoA aneurysm of 13.1 × 10.0 mm at the base with a neck of 4.3 mm projecting posteriorly into the carotid–optic cistern. Complete adherence to a protocol of staged techniques was employed for the operation, as detailed below. Step 1: Early cisternal decompression requiring total and immediate relaxation of the temporal lobe, rapidly opening up the carotid–optic anatomical window. Step 2: Circumferential dissection about the neck of the aneurysm permitting definition of the true posteromedial wall and definition of the perforator territories and anterior choroidal territories. Step 3: Brief but effective ICA proximal quiescence (58 s) permitting clipping under direct vision. Step 4: Staged closure of two clips with the closing line of the clips orientated parallel to the axis of the PCoA with maintenance of the diameter of all parent vessels, the origin of the PCoA and the integrity of the perforators. Urgent postoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) study showed complete exclusion of the aneurysm with no alteration in flow characteristics, and 3 months later DSA studies again showed permanent obliteration and patency of those branches. The immediate DSA demonstrated complete exclusion of the aneurysm with patent supraclinoid ICA caliber and PCoA ostium, the anterior choroidal artery was preserved; no angiographic vasospasm was identified. The postoperative course was uncomplicated; there was no hydrocephalus, seizure disorder or delayed ischemia. At discharge and three months postprocedure the patient was neurologically intact (Modified Rankin Scale 0) . Non-contrast cranial CT (three months) demonstrated stable clip position and no hemorrhagic or ischemic sequelae. Conclusions: In posteriorly projecting ICA–PCoA aneurysms that are disturbed beneath the optic apparatus, an anatomy-guided strategy—early cisternal decompression, true posteromedial neck exposure, brief purposeful quieting of the  \nproximal ICA and two-clip closure parallel to the PCoA in selected cases—may provide the ","cbCaifzWJfoY1Qir","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifzWJfoY1Qir","pdf",3488851,17,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Case Presentation\n## Conclusions\n# 1.
