@entity1 @entity455 @entity2695 @entity75 @entity439 @entity438
A group of 33 @entity1 with 34 @entity438 and its branches are reported. They were treated in the Department of Neurosurgery, Medical Academy in Warsaw in the years 1965-1981. In 4 @entity1 coexistence of other @entity455 ( @entity439 of other location and/or @entity2695 ) was demonstrated. The group comprised 21 @entity1 and 12 @entity1 aged from 7 to 60 years. Nine @entity1 were not operated on, 8 of them died due to haemorrhagic @entity75 and one gave no consent to operation. Out of surgically treated 24 @entity1 in 3 cases the common carotid artery was ligated in 4 cases the wall of the @entity439 was reinforced with plastic mass, and in 17 cases the neck of the @entity439 was closed with a clip. In the clinical group I (Botterell's scale) 7 @entity1 were treated surgically, in group II - 5, in group III - 9 and in group IV - 3. The immediate operative mortality was 8.5% (2 @entity1 ). One @entity1 died 2 months after the operation from other disease. Deterioration of the neurological status occurred in 33% of cases (8 @entity1 ). Late result of the treatment was known in 16 cases with a mean follow-up of 4 years. Six @entity1 returned to work, five resumed work with restrictions, and five other could not work and required care. The results of surgical treatment depended, in the first place, on the clinical state of the @entity1 and the surgical risk was not greater than in cases of @entity439 of other location.
