Summary
Opening of the lamina terminalis and Lilliequist's membrane — by facilitating CSF circulation in the basal cisterns — favourably influences the outcome in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. This has been demonstrated by the analysis of a series of 197 consecutive cases of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
