Pseudoaneurysm formation in the site of Intravenous drug abuser had been reported in literature. The repeated puncture of femoral vessels leads to abscess formation and epithelisation of the wall which leads to pseudoaneurysm formation. A case of lacking pseudoaneurysm presenting as reptured groin abscess in a drug addict is reported, which was managed successfully by Hunterian ligation with salvage of lower limb.

Objective: Complex middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms incorporating parent or branching vessels are often not amenable to standard microsurgical clipping or endovascular embolization treatments. We aim to discuss the treatment of such aneurysms via a combination of surgical revascularization and aneurysm exclusion based on our institutional experience.
Methods: Thirty-four patients with complex MCA aneurysms were treated with bypass and aneurysm occlusion, 5 with surgical clipping or wrapping only, and 1 with aneurysm excision and primary reanastomosis.

Despite advances in endovascular techniques, microsurgery continues to play an important role in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. This article reviews the history of surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms and the evolving role of microsurgery in the endovascular era. Although endovascular tools and techniques have changed significantly since the placement of the first Guglielmi coils in 1990, with the development of endoluminal flow-diverting stents and now endosaccular flow-diverting devices, microsurgical treatment of aneurysms has also continued to evolve.
