Proximal middle cerebral artery aneurysm clipping is difficult because the origin of the lenticulostriate arteries is often hidden behind the aneurysmal dome. In the present study, endovascular coil embolization for pMCA aneurysms obtained better results than that for npMCA aneurysms because of the morphological characteristics. Endovascular coil embolization seems to be efficacious for pMCA aneurysms as compared with npMCA aneurysms.
