BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to report the morbidity, mortality, and angiographic results of coiling of asymptomatic incidental aneurysms and compare the characteristics of these aneurysms with other asymptomatic incidental aneurysms that were not treated. PATIENTS AND METHODS During a 10-year period, 97 patients without previous subarachnoid hemorrhage, presented with ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE During surgery of symptomatic aneurysms, additional small angiographic occult aneurysms are commonly found. With 3D rotational angiography (3DRA) small aneurysms are more easily depicted than with digital subtraction angiography (DSA). In this study we compare 3DRA with DSA in the depiction of small additional aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred fifty 3D data...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have suggested an association between aortic aneurysms and intracranial aneurysms with a higher prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in patients with aortic aneurysms. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the incidence of intracranial aneurysms in a large cohort of patients with aortic aneurysms and to identify potential risk factors for intracr...

kawasaki disease (kd) is an acute vasculitis syndrome of unknown etiology. it occurs in infants and young children, affecting mainly small and medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. generalized microvasculitis occurs in the first 10 days, and the inflammation persists in the walls of medium and small arteries, especially the coronary arteries, and changes to coronary artery ...

PURPOSE To document the response of mycotic aneurysms to antibiotic therapy and correlate these findings with patient outcome. METHODS Clinical findings, CT studies, and serial cerebral angiograms of patients with endocarditis related aneurysms seen over 10 years were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS In 14 patients infective endocarditis was diagnosed. The patients presented with subarachn...

Bifurcation aneurysms (carotid bifurcation aneurysms, top of basilar artery aneurysms and middle cerebral artery aneurysms) are frequently treated by endovascular treatment (EVT) but their treatment is sometimes difficult singularly when the neck is wide. The "remodelling technique" is used for the treatment of these difficult aneurysms. However, the use of this technique is more complicated in...

Abstract The majority of hemorrhagic strokes are caused by cerebral aneurysms, harboured in a large portion the human population. Currently, it is unclear what constitutes dangerous aneurysm, and risk rupture such aneurysms challenging to quantify. Previous studies have shown that flow dynamics play an important role development aneurysms. However, there varying consensus on blood patterns stab...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The strategy of treatment of small unruptured intracranial aneurysms is complex because of their presumably low risk of rupture. A precise knowledge of the perioperative complications in this specific subgroup is mandatory. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of the endovascular treatment of aneurysms ≤ 3 mm and aneurysms > 3 mm included in the Analysis o...

Intracranial aneurysms (IA) in infants are reportedly rare at 0.5% to 4.5% of all aneurysms. Furthermore, subarachnoid hemorrhage younger than three months even rarer as it has been reported approximately 20 cases only till date.
