ResumoThe authors investigated the evolution of third nerve palsy in patients with posterior communicating artery aneurysms who underwent coiling vs clipping. There was no statistical difference of complete third nerve palsy recovery in both treatments. Both techniques were of clinical benefit. Older age, diabetes, delayed interventions, and complete third nerve palsy at presentation indicated a poor prognosis for recovery.
