Surgery of intracranial aneurisms in East Africa

RUBERTI R.F.

Code Number: NS98004

SUMMARY

This is a prospective study of 146 black African patients with intracranial aneurisms seen by the Author in 30 years of practice in Kenya. Out of 146 patients, 131 have been surgically treated mainly (90%) by clipping the aneurismal neck. The majority of the patients were Kenyans but others were from Eastern African Region. An analysis of the intracranial aneurismatic disease is carried out, with particular reference to the neuroepidemiology of this condition as seen in the African patients and to the pathological, diagnostic and prognostic aspects as related to the management.

RESUME

146 patients Africains noirs presentant un aneurisme intracranien, qui ont ete vus par l'Auteur en 30 ans de pratique medicale au Kenya, font l'objet d'une etude prospective. 131 de ces 146 patients ont ete traites chirurgicalement, la plupart (90%) par clippage au collet de l'aneurisme. La majorite de ces patients etaient Kenyans, les autres originaires de l'Afrique de l'Est. Une analyse de la maladie aneurysmale intracranienne est entreprise a partir, en particulier, des donnees qui ressortent de la neuroepidemiologie de cette maladie chez les patients Africains et des aspects pathologiques, diagnostiques et pronostiques, en relation au traitement chirurgical.
