BackgroundTreatment of multiple intracranial aneurysms is particularly demanding and even more so in a developing country where access to specialized centers may be prevented by different factors.MethodsSingle-stage surgical treatment of 7 cerebral aneurysms was performed in a 58-year-old woman from the northern Peruvian Andes.ResultsAll 7 aneurysms were successfully and safely clipped through 2 lateral supraorbital craniotomies. The double clip technique was used in 3 aneurysms to prevent any residual aneurysmal neck.ConclusionsGood teamwork and correct application of microsurgical principles may allow effective treatment in complex neurosurgical cases even in resource-challenged environments.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
