On the basis of neurological, psychological and computed tomographic studies of the head early consequences of microsurgical elimination of supratentorial brain aneurysms were analysed in a group of 37 patients. It was shown that this method of aneurysm treatment may lead to brain oedema near the operation site. Oedema development was observed most frequently in cases of prolonged pressure exerted by spatulae on the brain tissue during the operation, aneurysm location in the anterior cerebral artery system and in cases operated on from 4 to 10 days after subarachnoid haemorrhage.
