Zusammenfassung:The International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial led to a shift from clipping to endovascular coiling as the primary therapy for cerebral aneurysm particularly in the management of posterior circulation aneurysm. However, endovascular therapy is often unavailable in low-resource settings, emphasizing the importance of maintaining surgical skill sets in resource-poor countries. This article presents a detailed case report on the successful microneurosurgical management of a 65-year-old female with a history of headache and weakness with past history of hypertension and a right posterior cerebral artery territory infarct who was diagnosed with a ruptured aneurysm situated within the intracranial vertebral artery. Patient was operated with the far lateral approach and clipping of the aneurysm. This case report elucidates the intricate surgical techniques employed, and the challenges neurosurgeons encountered in treating posterior circulation intracranial aneurysms, particularly those with ruptured complications. The aneurysms' intricate anatomy and increased rupture risk necessitate a meticulous microneurosurgical approach. The severity of subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured aneurysms increases morbidity and mortality rates.
