The age factor is analysed for the operative indication in old patients. For the authors, operative indications are depended of mental and general status, clinical grade (I or II), localization and anatomical conformation of the aneurysm. The operation is performed only if the patient is asymptomatic or three weeks after the onset of the subarachnoid hemorrage. The peroperative hypotension is prohibited.
