Double neural tube defect is a rare congenital problem. A case illustration and current literatures on neural tube closure theory are discussed. The available theories are summarised and compared with regard to the case report.
We report on two patients with intra-operative rupture of cerebral aneurysms that were managed by microsuturing. This is one of only a few reports of successful direct repair using suturing. We found that stitching remains an option to repair a tear of a saccular part of an aneurysm and a torn neck of a blister-like aneurysm, and thus this technique can be considered before sacrificing the artery.
