For the treatment of aneurysms, clipping still offers higher occlusion rates and its technique continues to
evolve, resulting in smaller exposures and reduced manipulation to brain tissue. We report our experience
with minipterional craniotomy for anterior circulation aneurysms, exploring our routine use of this approach
for managing both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms in a high-volume institution in Brazil. This presentation
includes videos of different treated cases.

Pedro Góes is a young Neurosurgeon graduated from the Federal University of São Paulo, currently acting as a Member of the Vascular Neurosurgery group of the Paulo Niemeyer State Brain Institute in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to aneurysms, he is interested in arteriovenous malformations, cavernomas and tumors of the central nervous system, with a recent publication on the role of necrosis in intracranial meningiomas.
