Microsurgery has brought about important changes and progress in
the treatment of cere bral aneurysms in recent years. Only 12 years
ago McKissock, one of the most experienced surgeons in the
treatment of aneurysms pompared the results of operative and
nonoperative treatment. He found that mortality and morbidity of
cerebral aneurysms was not significantly affected by whether the
patients have been operated upon or not. This view is held by many
neursurgeons, and was confirmed by results of the Co-operative
Study in 1969. In the review on treatment of aneurysms in Progress
in Neurological Surgery in 1969, techniques such as encasement with
plastic compounds, piloinjection, stereotactic copper or electric
thrombosis and metallic thrombosis and profound hypothermia in
anaesthesia were listed. In general, these techniques now seem to
be of little more than historical interest. Progress in recent
yeats has been so enormous that one may perhaps gain the impreSSion
that the main problems in the treatment of aneurysms have been
solved and that there are no more to be surmounted. This is
dangerous and complacent thinking, such as Lord Moynihan indulged
in during the thirties. For this reason we thought that the time
had come to assemble a group of experts who could discuss the
various unsolved and contro versial problems of aneurysm surgery in
the friendly and relaxed atmosphere of a "work shop.""
