    The treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms has evolved significantly, focusing on minimally invasive techniques and improved patient outcomes.

  • 2

    Microsurgical clipping and endovascular coiling show differing impacts on cognitive function, with coiling linked to fewer cognitive deficits.

  • 3

    Current studies on cognitive outcomes post-treatment are limited by small sample sizes, inconsistent assessment timing, and heterogeneous populations.

  • 4

    This study includes 109 patients, with 65 undergoing microsurgical clipping and 44 receiving endovascular treatment for unruptured aneurysms.

    Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments were conducted to evaluate cognitive function and emotional distress in patients post-treatment.
