Paraclinoid aneurysms pose technical difficulty in their approach, mainly because of their close proximity to neurovascular structures, deeper location, and a smaller corridor. Extradural anterior clinoidectomy is a highly beneficial technique in such cases, making more space to deal with these aneurysms. We describe our method of performing extradural anterior clinoidectomy in such patients.
