BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The neck clipping of cerebral aneurysms is a well-established treatment for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by aneurysmal rupture. However, it is still unclear how great a risk of recurrence patients with a successfully treated aneurysm carry over a long-term period. METHODS Of 425 patients with SAH surgically treated in Aizu Chuou Hospital from 1976 to 1994, 220 cases meeting the following criteria were studied: (1) all aneurysms detected by 3- or 4-vessel cerebral angiography were clipped, (2) complete obliteration of aneurysm(s) was confirmed by postoperative angiography, and (3) the patient survived >3 years. All patients were traced until January 1998 for recurrent SAH or death. The mean follow-up period was 9.9 (range, 3 to 21) years. RESULTS Six patients (2.7%) had recurrent SAH, each with an interval ranging from 3 to 17 years (mean, 11 years) since the original treatment. In addition, 2 patients were found to have regrowth of the originally operated aneurysms. The cumulative recurrence rate of SAH, calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, was 2.2% at 10 years and 9. 0% at 20 years after the original treatment. CONCLUSIONS The recurrence rate was considerably higher than the previously reported risk of SAH in the normal population, and the rate increased with time. These data indicate that patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms still carry higher risks for SAH in a long-term period, even after complete obliteration of the aneurysm, and that periodic examination to detect recurrent aneurysms may be indicated for such patients.

[Endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms].

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial aneurysms are common, with an overall frequency ranging from 0.8% to 10%. Because prognosis after subarachnoid hemorrhage is still very poor, treatment of unruptured aneurysms, either neurosurgically or endovascularly, has been advocated. However, risk of rupture and subsequent subarachnoid hemorrhage needs to be considered against the risks of elective treat...

Fatal recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage after complete endovascular aneurysm occlusion.

Endovascular treatment of aneurysms has become an alternative to the neurosurgical approach. Here, we describe a patient presenting with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a basilar tip aneurysm, which was completely occluded with coils. Fourteen days later the patient died due to massive recurrent SAH. Histologic evaluation showed aneurysm rerupture with coil dislocation in the subarachnoi...

De novo and recurrent aneurysms in pediatric patients with cerebral aneurysms.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Long-term angiographic follow-up studies on pediatric aneurysm patients are scarce. METHODS We gathered long-term clinical and angiographic follow-up data on all pediatric aneurysm patients (≤ 18 years at diagnosis) treated at the Department of Neurosurgery, Helsinki University Central Hospital, between 1937 and 2009. RESULTS Fifty-nine patients with cerebral aneurysm...

Background: This investigation was conducted in order to study angiographic findings in patients with cerebral aneurysm. Materials and Methods: The study conducted on 136 cases of ruptured cerebral aneurysms between 1995-2000 confirmed by means of 4-vessel cerebral angiography to get an insight to racial, geographic and environmental factors predisposing to the occurrence of subarachnoid hemorr...

Late Recurrence of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Associated with Aneurysmal Regrowth Originating from the Anterior Communicating Artery after Neck Clipping

While complete neck clipping of ruptured cerebral aneurysms prevents rerupture, recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to the rupture of an aneurysm at the same sites of the previous aneurysm may occur, even if no residual neck was detected during and after neck clipping. We present the cases of 3 patients with recurrent SAH due to regrowth after neck clipping of aneurysms at the anterior ...
