Microsurgical approaches for intracranial aneurysms are more invasive than endovascular treatments and are associated with longer recovery periods and worse cosmetic outcomes.

In this study, headache rates and postoperative scar satisfaction were compared between standard pterional and minipterional craniotomies for anterior circulation aneurysm clipping.
