Forty-seven patients were operated on for intracranial artery aneurysms at Tygerberg Hospital, Parowvallei, CP, between January 1980 and December 1982. Problems related to anaesthesia which are peculiar to this condition and the solution thereof are outlined. The importance of meticulous anaesthetic management in the successful recovery of these patients, the majority of whom are young and in the productive phase of their lives, is stressed. A plea is made for increased awareness, early diagnosis and surgical intervention to decrease the high mortality rate associated with this lethal condition.
1980年1月至1982年12月期间，47例颅内动脉瘤患者在开普省帕罗瓦利泰格伯格医院接受了手术。本文概述了与这种病症相关的特殊麻醉问题及其解决方案。强调了精心的麻醉管理对于这些患者成功康复的重要性，这些患者大多数年轻且处于人生的 productive 阶段。呼吁提高认识、早期诊断和手术干预，以降低与这种致命病症相关的高死亡率。 （注：原文中“productive phase”这里翻译为“有生产能力的阶段”感觉较生硬，可结合语境理解为“有活力的阶段”等，可根据具体要求进一步优化表述，但按指令要求不能添加解释说明。）
