Abstract
✓ A large, partly calcified aneurysm buried in the pons and arising from the junction of the basilar artery and the anterior inferior cerebellar artery was successfully occluded using a variangle aneurysm clip with a new rotating pistol-grip applier which allowed transoral access. The authors believe that the new applier, used in association with the current techniques for dural closure, allows for safe transoral surgery for basilar aneurysms.Keywords
