Numerical Assessment of Geometric and Load Parameters Associated with Intracranial Aneurysm Formation

Surgical Protocol and Outcome of 60 Cases With Intracranial Aneurysm

Background and Aim: This study aimed to present the results of early and delayed operation on patients with ruptured brain aneurysms. In addition to comparing the results and rates of morbidity and mortality in the surgical procedure and identifying the effective factors, this study aimed to provide methods to improve the treatment of brain aneurysm. Methods and Materials/Patients: This was a ...

The mystery of intracranial aneurysm formation.

Intracranial aneurysms are a common and potentially devastating condition. They are found in approximately 1% of autopsies and 7% of patients referred for catheter angiography for indications other than subarachnoid hemorrhage1. Pathogenesis is not completely understood, but it is generally accepted that both genetic and hemodynamic factors play a role. As a group, a number of known heritable d...

Intracranial aneurysm formation after radiotherapy for medulloblastoma

BACKGROUND The development of an intracranial aneurysm after radiotherapy is rare but secondary effect of cranial irradiation in a primary disease treatment. CASE DESCRIPTION The patient was a 17-year-old male adolescent who was diagnosed as having a posterior fossa medulloblastoma when he was 8 years old. He had undergone tumor resection with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A distal posterior...
