Although Walter E. Dandy (1886-1946) is appropriately credited with the first surgical clipping of an intracranial aneurysm in 1937--a procedure that established the modern field of vascular neurosurgery--his numerous other contributions to this specialty are not as well known. Dandy can be credited with the first detailed description of the vein of Galen malformation, the first description of x-ray visualization of an intracranial aneurysm, the first characterization of basilar artery dolichoectasia, and the publication of the first comprehensive operative case series of arteriovenous malformations, cavernous malformations, and developmental venous anomalies. In addition, Dandy performed the first surgical trapping of a cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm by clipping the supraclinoid ICA and ligating the cervical ICA, and he also executed the first intracranial surgical clipping of the ICA to treat a carotid-cavernous fistula. In this article the authors describe Dandy's contributions to the field of vascular neurosurgery.
尽管 Walter E. Dandy（1886-1946）在 1937 年首次进行了颅内动脉瘤的手术夹闭——这一手术确立了现代血管神经外科学领域——但他对该专业的许多其他贡献并不广为人知。Dandy 首次详细描述了 Galen 静脉畸形，首次描述了颅内动脉瘤的 X 射线可视化，首次描述了基底动脉梭形扩张，并发表了第一篇关于动静脉畸形、海绵状畸形和发育性静脉异常的全面手术病例系列。此外，Dandy 通过夹闭颅底颈内动脉（ICA）和结扎颈内动脉首次进行了海绵窦内 ICA 动脉瘤的手术夹闭，他还首次进行了颅内 ICA 手术夹闭以治疗颈动脉海绵窦瘘。在本文中，作者描述了 Dandy 对血管神经外科学领域的贡献。
