Background And Importance: Stereotactic laser amygdalohippocampotomy (SLAH) using laser interstitial thermal therapy is a minimally invasive surgery used to treat mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. It uses laser probes inserted through occipital and temporo-occipital trajectories to ablate the hippocampus and amygdala. However, these trajectories are limited in their ability to ablate the superior amygdala and entorhinal cortex (ERC).

- - The study investigated the epidemiology of intracranial aneurysms in Brazil, involving 1404 patients admitted to a major hospital between 2009 and 2018, looking at factors like location, gender, age, and comorbidities.
- - A total of 2251 aneurysms were identified, with a higher prevalence in females (77.6%), an average diagnosis age of 54.9 years, and the most common locations being the middle cerebral artery and anterior cerebral artery.
- - Significant findings included that multiple aneurysms were more often seen in females and smokers, while the relationship between hypertension and multiple aneurysms was not statistically significant.
