Microsurgical clamping of cerebral aneurysms is a surgery performed to treat aneurysms. When a brain aneurysm forms, it can become so thin that it is very fragile, causing bleeding to overflow into the brain parenchyma.

The microsurgical procedure for clipping a cerebral aneurysm involves several steps that must be performed sequentially, with the ultimate goal being to actively control the aneurysm if it has not ruptured or to correct the brain hemorrhage if it has ruptured. Regardless of the clinical situation, a clear understanding of the following steps for cerebral aneurysm surgery will reinforce the correctness of this treatment decision.
