    AbstractThis 44-year-old woman presented with a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) videoangiography demonstrated the aneurysm neck and dome, which were buried in subarachnoid clots. Dissection and aspiration of the clots around the neck were safely performed without touching the ruptured points. The aneurysm was successfully clipped. The patient's postoperative course was excellent. This case illustrates the use of intraoperative ICG videoangiography to provide information about the anatomical location of the aneurysm neck and dome despite their being completely obscured by subarachnoid clots. Intraoperative ICG videoangiography allowed safer dissection of the ruptured aneurysm from the blood clots.
