Bilateral ophthalmic aneurysms are rare and involve two aneurysms in the ophthalmic arteries, one on each, leading to potential symptoms such as vision loss and headaches. The treatment options for aneurysms, ranging from surgery and endovascular embolization to observation, depend on various factors, including aneurysm size and the patient's health. Microsurgery, while presenting complexities due to the intricate anatomy of the anterior clinoid region, offers potential advantages such as enhanced decompression rates and reduced aneurysm recurrence. The presented surgical video illustrates the treatment of bilateral ophthalmic artery aneurysms via a single craniotomy. This method reduces surgical duration and trauma, facilitating quicker patient recovery. However, this method bears potential risks, especially to both optic nerves. As underscored in the video, the utmost anatomical understanding in the anterior clinoid area is pivotal for successful outcomes and reduced complications.
