Blood blister aneurysms (BBAs) or pseudoaneurysms (PAs) in the internal carotid artery (ICA) have fragile necks; therefore, conventional neck clipping is difficult. The standard treatment for BBAs or PAs is trapping with high or low flow bypass. However, there is no consensus on whether or not anterior clinoidectomy should be performed together. Two patients with ruptured ICA PA (anterior protrusion) or BBA (posterior protrusion) were presented to our hospital. Complete trapping was safely performed for both types of aneurysms via extradural anterior clinoidectomy and the extradural approach with dural incision. The advantages of the procedure are 1) safe proximal clipping, 2) early identification of the ICA C3 portion, 3) minimized frontal lobe retraction, 4) optic canal opening to allow mobility of the optic nerve, and 5) dural ring incision to allow mobility of the ICA.
