Background: Because age and the presence of atherosclerosis are risk factors for the
presence of aneurysms, the presence of multiple aneurysms may also increase with age …

Background and Purpose—Using postrupture morphology to predict rupture risk of an
intracranial aneurysm may be inaccurate because of possible morphological changes at or …

Background and Purpose: The prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) in
the adult population is≈ 3%. Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm can have devastating …

The recent publication of the results of the international study on unruptured intracranial
aneurysms highlighted a paradox: there do not seem to be enough unruptured aneurysms in …

The PHASES score was developed to determine the risk of rupture of un-ruptured
intracranial aneurysms (UIAs). The purposes of the current study were to apply this score on …

BACKGROUND Prospective studies of unruptured aneurysms have shown very low rates of
rupture for small aneurysms (< 10 mm) and suggested that the risk of treatment outweighs …

BACKGROUND: The International Study of Intracranial Aneurysms found that for patients
with no previous history of subarachnoid hemorrhage, small (< 7 mm) anterior circulation …

Because the results of Pobereskin's retrospective study are in obvious conflict with those of
previous prospective studies, one must use caution when interpreting the kind of protective …

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that unruptured aneurysms have different characteristics
and risk factor profiles compared to ruptured aneurysms. METHODS We recruited patients …

Background: The prevailing view amongst neurosurgeons is that the larger the aneurysm,
the higher the chance of rupture. This implies that very small aneurysms rarely rupture. To …
