Background: The prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is increasing in elderly population in Japan. Octogenarians (80-89 years) are more prone to complications due to increased age, comorbidities, increased risk of vasospasm, and treatment risks.
Aim: The aim is to study the surgical outcome of unruptured intracranial saccular aneurysms in elderly patients aged between 80 and 89 years.
We describe an uncommon case of acute coils migration with significant occlusion of M3 branch and our management of this complication. Ballon-assisted coil placement was performed for an unruptured intracavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm in a 62-year-old woman. After coil placement and balloon deflection, we observed coils migration with significant occlusion of M3 branch.

The neuroendoscope with its higher magnification, better observation, and additional illumination can provide us information that may not be available with the microscope in aneurysm surgery.
Objective: The objective was to study the use of endoscope in surgical management of A-com aneurysm surgery and its advantages, whether and how it changes operative management.
Background: Flow 800 is microscope-integrated analytical visualization tool which analyses the indocyanine green (ICG) video sequence and converts it into an intensity diagram. This allows an objective evaluation of the result rather than subjective assessment of ICG fluorescence. The anatomy of anterior communicating artery region is complex because of multiple vessels and perforators in small space; hence, there is a need of objective assessment tool which can give precise idea about vascular compromise.
